I hear ya chicken. Your looking for the 'next big thing' to 'break the next barrier' we all have a need for that. I look at it this way, in drag racing et milestones dont need to come in 'even' seconds. National records at this point are a big deal even if they're only by .001. I still cant get over the performance of Johnson/Shumacher in the last run of the finals to win the championship. Look at how many stars had to line up to make that happen and with all the pressure THEY PULLED IT OFF! That to me was an historic performance.

I was watch the military channel a while back and they had an old school test pilot that was in it after Yeager and he talked about how bummed he was that it got dropped. Said that we should always reach for and find out where the 'limit' is. Mach 6 is amazing, now if we could just figure how to make tight turns at that speed.lol
