Wow! Steve Fossett traveled around the globe about one and half times, doing the trip in 3 and a half days and covering 26,389 miles! It's crazy to think that he did that alone in an experimental plane . And to top it all off, he had several close calls on the way (losing 750 gallons of fuel at takeoff, doing an emergency landing in England, and hitting stormy weather in India that almost caused him to eject). Sometimes I wonder what drives people to set records, especially when it involves such risk. I guess everyone has their own thing to drive them in life.
