Fosset is crossing arizona and headed home looks like he will make it. If he doesn’t he’ll only be a couple hundred miles off. Which is like “almost” winning the race I guess.
I concur. It may have been going TOO WELL and no one was noticing.
Man, I think he’s gonna make it. That is huge. It pretty much makes my week. Very exciting. Awesome.
And for all the people who were critical of his attempt I would ask one question: So what have you done?
Weird…I would have thought the news that Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen would have made your week even more!
I heard about that. Kind of sad actually. I thought they were a nice couple. It’s always sad when something doesn’t work out. Really sad actually.
Did I read she is pregnant with her second child? I feel bad for them, what a mess. Two talented people…
I made it non-stop from the bedroom to the bathroom without tripping over any of the three cats.
This is awsome… consider the altitude, the minimal control surfaces, and the fuel weight at T/O, the constant attention to stability issues throughout the flight as the fuel is consumed. This may not be a coffin corner issue like the U2 or the SR 71 however the envelope this flight took place in was very demanding.

Yes, I think she is 6 months pregnant. And what is interesting is that SHE is the one who filed for divorce. Charlie must have really done something to screw up…not that it is entirely surprising given his past. I doubt too many people thought they would last very long, kids or no kids.
ah, impossible to say, but if I were married to her suffice it to say I’d prolly stick around…
Looks like Fosset will touch down about 3:17pm local time (michigan)
.
I hope I can get the live feed.

Best quote about really HOT women I ever heard:
“No matter how hot she is, somewhere there is some guy who is sick of putting up with her shit.” 
That being said, I would bet that something (or someone) Charlie did is the reason they are splitting. He’s got a pretty extensive track record.
Back on topic - I guess they had enuff fuel after all. Wonder if it ever really was an issue, or just clever marketing with a trace of hype?

I’m gonna go to the library and watch, no sound but I still haven’t dropped the dough for broadband.
The whole fuel thing was a come-on to generate interest. Since there is basically, none.
