Breaking the Sound Barrier... without an airplane |
I would have thought the transonic buffeting might have caused injury but he was in a virtual vacuum
while he was supersonic. Still, it was quite a trick
Two things I find amazing are that this feat was achieved in 1960, and that this man went faster
than Chuck Yeager did in his rocket plane on his first supersonic flight, and he did it with no airplane.
