      Now my imagination is about to go wild. This is not based on facts though. In reality, I don’t think humans will ever fly. BUT, Science could make humans fly and his is how:
      1- Study animals that fly and find out which of their genes gives them wings to fly.
      2 – Take that gene from the animal that flies and try to adapt it to the human body.
      3- Insert the gene into the human body and hopefully it will grow wings
      4 – But then you have to factor in nature vs nurture. (flying animals have more than just genes to make them fly)
      5 – So to uncomplicate the whole process, I say you just come up with some chemical concoction like superman or spiderman and hope you get mutated into a flying being. Better still just grap an ironman suit. It’s pretty cool.

      Humans already fly….on aeroplanes! 😛
      Also, my friend’s dad has a jet pack thing that he wears on his back, with a parachute and he goes flying. I do not understand how it works but he loves it!

      I don’t think we’ll ever grow wings and fly though.
