I think it would be called a sense of adventure which most people have lost
in the world and the ones that do still have a sense of adventure are called
crazy, reckless, arrogant, dumb, ect. by the general public. Look at the guy
that did the flight across the Atlantic in a Cessna 150.

Fossett's previous record attempts have been meaningful, but this one
puzzles me. I really don't understand risking a one of a kind very low
performance aircraft to recreate a long over-water flight. Its been done
before, and there is nothing to gain and a bunch to lose...
