Although space flight seems routine to us now, it wasn't so long ago that it was the realm of the unknown and still quite dangerous. I place the test pilot, Mike Melvill, in the same category as Yeager, Shepard, Gagarin, Bob Hoover, and the rest of the Right Stuff crowd. Big brass set of cojones!

I still have dreams of going into space. The bad part it is not going to happen :(
