Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "Congratulations @elonmusk ! #Goodluck ! We used liquid oxygen for the X-1 to break the sound barrier. Very cold sitting in front of it. Also re-filled it at the very last second before attaching to B-29. #X1 @HISTORY @US_SpaceCom #spacestation @usairforce https://t.co/TlaC6H2Ewf"
