The loss of a TRUE american hero

the AP Wire Service has the news of the passing of a legendary hero of mine. Scott Crossfield who once proved how indestructible he was by being blown up in the X-15 Rocket plane and managing only to wet his pants has died in a plane crash in Georgia. He was not exactly a household name out in the world but he was a hero of mine ever since I saw a documentary about the X-15 project hosted by Peter Jennings in the late 80s. I wish to express my condolences for his family, and to thank him for the inspiration he has given to me.

Farewell Scott!
