A great, great achievement by an extraordinary man, but more than this, a true testimonial of the intrinsic intellectual greatness of man.

Wow! For me surviving for 3 days on nothing but milkshake and no sleep is amazing enough - but adding that to his fantastic feat - congratulations to the whole team!
Emily, Montpellier, France
And? Give me a few million and idle time, and I'll do the same. Use your money for some greater good, and I'll respond differently.
D Ross, Chicago, USA
Amazing. Congratulations. Thanks for making us dream again.
Emerson Herrera, Caracas, Venezuela
Can't help thinking, couldn't any pilot do the same, given a plane like that?
Pepe, Sidmouth, Devon
This is probably the most exciting thing to happen in Kansas since the filming of The Wizard of Oz in 1939!
Jennifer, Lenexa, KS, USA
A self-serving, ego-driven waste of money.
Jose, Huntington, NY, USA
With all the problems we face in the world today, is spending millions to flying around it such an accomplishment?
Julien, Montreal, Canada
He may not have cured cancer or saved rainforest acreage, but that does not diminish any of the excitement of the feat. These days, it seems that everything has been done and discovered, but Mr Fossett has yet again proved that incorrect. He is a true pioneer. I would have been proud to have been involved.
Greg, Portland, OR, USA
Gee... I wonder how many children could have been fed for the cost of this achievement?
Paladin, Tonopah, NV, USA
This is similar to climbing Mt Everest, it achieves nothing!
Srini, VA, USA
What an astounding feat. As someone obsessed with aviation, I am in awe of the GlobalFlyer aircraft and Steve Fossett. Awesome, just awesome!
Tony Hart, Exeter, England
What a complete waste of effort, time, and money. He could've given half the money he spent on this stunt to tsunami aide and flown commercial.
