[FPSPACE] Scott Crossfield, RIP

We are not talking about just any man. This was Scott Crossfield, the X-15 test pilot who showed the rest how to do it. May his soul rest in piece, he was of a great breed, of a great generation of test pilots.

What kind of man would live where there is no daring? And is life so dear that we should blame men for dying in adventure? Is there a better way to die?
