      i have heard his name before. i wonder why he didn't become one of the first group of astronauts that were written about in The Right Stuff.

      i gotta watch that movie again - i forget now why Chuck Yaeger never got to go on a space mission.
      I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                  Imagine if you got into some sort of horrible spin part way down. At terminal velocity it would take something like an hour to descend to the ground.

                      Hang on, 988km/hr? How could he fall that fast? If he was travelling at that speed then he'd complete the fall in just over 2 mins...
