Yep. don't make em like that anymore and if they did HR would destroy him for anyone with that drive is viewed as "mean"... Don't ask how I know, but I never was someone of his caliber with the get the mission done and count the cost later. A man for the time as I read his autobiography shortly after I learned to fly, actually have an autographed piece of aviation art hanging with others of his ilk during that time. All these young men forged under the fire of operating high powered war machines, in a time of anything believed possible. Makes one realize why in a time of all computerized flying machines, we still haven't returned to the Moon, in over a half of a Century. The Right Stuff now finds itself considered as overachieving and reckless, thus not in line with the participation trophy mindset. Anyone that pushes that hard is too aggressive, maybe they always be and that is a shame or is it... Rant complete as there will be others and will always be special, as trailblazing heroes.
