"On December 4, 1959, one very special primate made it space. This unsuspecting little bundle of curiosity would fly solo for 11 minutes and 6 seconds, reaching a top speed of 4,446 mph and soaring 55 miles into a realm that no human had explored. If this mother****er can take a whopping 14.8 g's, a tough guy like yourself can ditch the front brake. Here's to you Sam."

well said.
