When you look back on what we do now, compared to what we did in the 50's and 60's, the human race has turned into a bunch of pussies.
Knowing what we know now, those guys back then were borderline certifiable, which is what we need to move forward.
I watched a show on the History channel, yesterday, about Baumgartner's space dive.
What blew me away is, he was breaking a record, and not by a whole lot when you put it all in perspective, MADE 52 YEARS AGO!
52 years.
10 million years…or until an asteroid pops it.
