around the world in 80 3 days

steve fossett is just a couple of hours away from completing a 3-day solo non-stop flight around the world without refueling... don't know how i missed this one, as i hadn't heard of it untill someone mentioned it yesterday... burt rutan - of voyager and space ship one fame - designed the single engined jet aircraft that he's flying and the project is being financed by richard branson and virgin... pretty cool stuff when you think about it...
