Birds can fly, so why can't we?
All we need to do is figure out what birds have which we don't.
If it's wings we need, then why not attach huge sheets of paper to our arms and then try flapping them and flying?

Fucking lold hard

if evolution makes it necessary that we fly, then in tens of thousands of years we might have wings. But since our technology makes us nothing but MORE LAZY and life more easy (Cars, Computers etc.), its much more likely that we will sooner or later be born without legs. No need for them anymore

humans are too heavy compared to what wings we would be able to use. so yeah, we'd either need to become a lot lighter or get stronger pectoral muscles if we're ever going to fly by ourselves.

Life is just a dream anyway. So yes you can fly, you just need to believe its possible. I recommend starting with a cliff to practice, that's how I learned.

Observations from the Voyager space probes have shown that the Titanian atmosphere is denser than Earth's, with a surface pressure about 1.45 times that of Earth's. Titan's atmosphere is about 1.19 times as massive as Earth's overall, or about 7.3 times more massive on a per surface area basis. It supports opaque haze layers that block most visible light from the Sun and other sources and renders Titan's surface features obscure. The atmosphere is so thick and the gravity so low that humans could fly through it by flapping "wings" attached to their arms. (wikipedia, lololol)

there is hope for you ^^

saw this on the universe, they suggested a future resort and such would be possible

Gravity can be manipulated to your own advantage.

Well,due to our body not being built of lightweight bones etc,and how not-Aerodynamic we are,without a technological implication,it is doubtful that we will ever fly.But you never know,evolution has surprised us before,I'm sure it will again.

Just give it another 2-3 more million years.
