    Today in 1948, Chuck Yeager flew Bell X-1 to the highest velocity and altitude of any piloted airplane up to that date. He reached Mach 1.45 and flew to an altitude of 71,900 feet. #IdeasThatDefy pic.twitter.com/PoXszsNdWl

        I’ve been to D.C. and have seen the aircraft. I was surprised that it’s so small. @GenChuckYeager helmet he used on that flight is in another Smithsonian Museum. All free, no charge...

        At 71,900 feet, what was the environment like in the cockpit? I imagine it must’ve been pressurized to some extent, but it must’ve been cold as all get out.
