During the 90 minute ceremony, there will be speeches from a stage as well as an attempted re-enactment of Orville Wright's 12 second powered flight 100 years ago on December 17, 1903. The re-enactment of the flight will be attempted at the same place and time (10:35am) as it was 100 years ago. It will be done on board a reconstructed exact replica of the original Wright Flyer. There will be two people (trained pilots) portraying Orville and Wilbur Wright (they will be in period garb) for the flight re-enactment.

President Bush may make his “Back to the Moon” speech during this event.
