Answer:
They said nothing can fly in the vacuum
Explanation:
Very soon after people managed to make a machine for a flight (airplane) they have explored the Earth in total. Soon they started with ideas of exploring space. In the 1920s Robert H. Goddard made the first rocket that set ideas about exploring space. Goddard made the claim that rockets will reach the moon.
However, there was much doubt among people. T<u>he newspaper publication, The New York Times, dismissed this idea with the claim that nothing can fly in the vacuum – space lacking any matter. </u>
<u>Only after the first man have managed to reach space and the moon have they been convinced this was not true.</u>
Because it shifted the international focus towards the Antarctic and resulted in numerous scientific and geographic expeditions. As many as 10 countries launched 17 Antarctic expeditions. Actually, the failed mission of Shackleton resulted in great interest among the countries to conquer the unconquered.
In Scout Momaday, said on page 3, "The young Plains culture of the Kiowas withered and died like grass burn in the prairie."
Similes use like and as to compare someone or something and a metaphor doesn't.
Example of a metaphor: Her hands turned to ice in the cold wind of the Autumn.
Your hands only felt like ice and didn't actually turn to ice.
