Okay I kno this sounds like Maximum Ride(the book) but I really wanna know cuz I had a dream about having real feathered wings and I could fly(lucid dreaming!!!). So, could humans ever get wings grafted onto them or be genetically enhanced or have a contraption that attaches to the arms to enable flight or all three?????

No. The breastbone would have to be about 6 feet across. Also our bones are too heavy. Closest you can get is hang-gliding or free fall from a plane. Or those rocket packs..

You can't have wings grafted to you. Things with Feathery Wings aren't mammels anyways.
Good news though,.. there is a critter that's a mammel and has wings.. it's called a Bat XD
You'd probably need a wing span the size of a Semi though and you'd pass out every time you flap your wings, but if you think you can manage that.
You need to play some games to get flight with wings out of your system.
Even with the other suggestions you'd need something massive to counter the weight of everything. Birds and the Dinosaurs birds came from had hollow bones to reduce their weight.
You could try hang glideing though.

If you really want to fly by 'flapping,' you can build a large hangar-sized station on the moon and attach use some sort aerodynamic 'wing' assembly and be able to fly of your own accord due to the low gravity.
But that's assuming you didn't lose any muscle mass while in zero gravity; and also assuming you could amass that much money to do all that.

Well we do have something call wing muscle lol. You can workout and be able to obtain them on your back like the great martial art master, Bruce Lee. This will take quite some time to get but we can not fly and probably wont ever be able too. the only way for us to fly is to use technology and strap them onto our arms or back and that is about all..
