Global Flyer Part 2

nsasch writes "The Global Flyer just wasn't enough for Steve Fossett. He's going again, this time to make the world's longest (in length) flight, ever. He is currently over the Atlantic ocean and can be tracked online. He will be flying for 3 days with 18000 pounds of fuel (~8164 kilograms). More information, tracking, Microsoft Flight Simulator models, and background images are available from Virgin Atlantic."

Re:On this I have to say...,

[gumbright]

To expand on this (was shooting for FP), just how much money has this idiot wasted on POINTLESS records? Its one thing to actually push the envelope in a useful fashion, something that actually advances us. But this douchebag is setting records of the 19th century. What is the point? You want to be remembered for something Fosset? How about using the money to help somebody out instead.

To reiterate...asshat.
