  When asked why he wanted to climb Mt Everest, George Mallory famously said, "Because it is there" Why did Chuck want to break the sound barrier? because it was Duty, Honor, Country!

  I’ve been listening to podcast interviews and talks about Capt Eric “Winkle” Brown and the exploration of transonic flight & compressibility; it’s interesting to hear the story picked up from a different angle as the US took the lead on this research. Fascinating stuff @FLTDOC1
