Chuck Yeager didn’t need safe spaces. Just wide open spaces to break sound barriers.

If you are truly this ignorant and or uneducated then I wouldn't be advertising it.

Sometimes it's better to remain silent and thought to be a fool rather than to speak up and remove all doubt...

Bet you don't know who said that either.

“Over there, is that a man?”

“Yeah, you’re damn right it is.”

I was talking about him a few weeks ago, and he'll be talked about 100 years from now. You will be forgotten.

Not you, apparently. I doubt you know who he was, anyway.

Do ya know what kind of bad arse the general was? He broke the sound barrier hung over with a couple broke ribs from a drunken adventure the night before. No sick day for Chuck ace bandages and a mouth full of aspirin he made history. He was asked to join the mercury program but flat refused to referring to the astronauts as spam in a can he said no thanks I'll stay here and fly real airplanes. God bless ya Chuck and may you find peace and your own set of wings

He probably ended up with a higher net-worth than any of the original Gemini or Apollo astronauts.
