It is unbelievable achievement from those guys. Rutan is absolutely the best

Congratulation to Steve for his remarkable success. I could not imagine to
be without sleep for so many hours with the jet engine screaming above your
head. I hope that Steve Fossett will stop now, because statistically he is
overdue to be killed in his risky adventures.

Not another statistics thread. :-)

Actually, he is no more likely now than before and I'd venture even less
likely. He's shown the skill to handle dangerous missions so that
probably lessens his odds of hitting troubel.

Yes, it was a magnificient achievement for all involved.
