Amelia Earhart set the altitude record for women pilots and was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean by herself. She then went on to become the first person to fly across the Pacific Ocean in a solo flight. Earhart proved that it is possible to overcome any limitation by pure will power.

Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, was only 5'2 "tall, but he had gained vast experience during thousands of flights that taught him where his limits were. And that’s why he knew exactly what to do to orbit the earth in his Vostok 3KA-3 and to land again safely.

In 1953, Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay were the first to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Each of them had climbed many mountains before, but only together did the two of them manage to reach the most elevated place on earth.
