  That’s incredible. I never knew the X-1 took off from the ground. 15,000 feet per minute rate of climb has to be a wild experience.

  You and test pilots in general have to have a little "crazy sonuvabitch" in them to do what they do. The world is indebted to you guys. Have an awesome 2019, General.
