Indeed. That word "Survive" carries all the glory.
Just like the fact that Chuck Yeager was the first to survive breaking the sound barrier. There has been speculation that other pilots during the war reached the speed of sound in dives during dog fights and their aircraft broke and they didn't survive.

That last word seems important. Or as they say about climbing Everest:
"Getting up is optional.....getting down is mandatory"
