Da Vinci: Has there ever been someone who has been so inventive and yet most famous for something else? (At least for me, I heard about his paintings growing up long before anything else.) I just finished watching something on the History Channel about some of the things he invented. I have read a few things on him already and it is very interesting! <--- Obviously I barely penetrated the surface here.
Howard Hughes: The things you can do when you have a little money! Another genius intuitive inventor. Not just him, but his company who carried on while he slowly faded away in his Las Vegas hotel. Just some of the brilliant things I can think of off the top of my head are: As a young boy he put a small engine in his bicycle and was probably one of the first to do so. He set many records and created that beautiful H1. After the horrific crash in the XF11, he came up with the modern day hospital bed, or stretcher, can't remember which, while he was still recovering! Let's not forget the spruce goose... <--- I barely scratched the surface here too. The point of this is, there have been some people that have helped advance humanity and technology far more then anyone before them ever has. I would like to have some of my fellow SubSimmers to post some other master minds with a small bio of them. Feel free to correct my two or to elaborate on them. It is my bedtime and I feel I may have rambled on... Possibly a little incoherently! Looking forward to your master minds! -Camaero
