Default Pilots are, indeed, rare...

There is lighter than air, unpowered heavier than air, powered heavier than
air and now we even have no air.

Of course the space shuttle doesn't "fly" into space the way the X15 did, it
is blasted like a cannon shell. Then in orbit is just always falling over
the horizon. But it does fly back down.

Helicopters don't fly either, they just beat the air into submission.
