Congrats to Steve Fosset and Burt Rutan

Steve Fosset set out in a plane built by Burt Rutan in an attempt to make the first single pilot jet powered plane trip around the world. They've done it. Richard Branson backed it. There were worries about fuel early on. But in the end, Steve made it. This is great. Burt Rutan and Scaled Composites are great. Only they could come up with a plane that would make this trip.

Kudos all around. Well done folks. Records were set. History was made today.
