   I’m trying to figure out what was historic about it. They managed to take 7 weeks longer to cross America than bicycle riders. They barely beat walkers. I better look up historic.

   “1. Having importance in or influence on history.”

   Nope.

   LOL:

   So according to that .

   It would appear the solar powered plane got too close to the sun and did a kind of Icarus. It’s burning up and that’s the smoke trail. 🙂

   Because nobody does stupid like an environmentalist.

   Well maybe Reggie, especially when he is on a blowtorch rant.

   So we can look forward to a solar powered Air Force 1 in the near future then?

   Headline today:

   Guardian publisher ‘expected to report £35m loss’

   Maybe they can economize by getting their journos to only fly by solar powered aircraft.

     Maybe they could cut the Environmental section and merge what’s left with the Astrology section since they are both FOS.

       Environmentalism is a science in the same sense naturopathy is a science.
