Boring because...

1. It is nothing really new, unlike Space Ship One or the first balloon
flight around the global

By that logic, we've been been flying at those altitudes since the 1940's
and balloons have been flying since the 1800's. Who cares?

2. Only 35 people on board, mostly Boeing employees. It would have been
more impressive if it were a 'true' commerial flight

Commercial aircraft, commercial flight...

3. Long distance records are old new... what about a new speed record

Where's the Concorde these days, eh? Hmm.
