Something that many forgot with the nightmare of SnF. I love the fact that even Slashdotters recognized the contributions Burt made to aviation and the world……

hondo77 writes "Lost in all of the April Fool's Day fun was the news that Burt Rutan retired on April 1. 'Five of his planes now hang in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, including the Voyager, which in 1986 became the first airplane to fly around the world without refueling, and SpaceShipOne, which in 2004 became the first private rocket plane ever to put a man into space.' Enjoy your retirement, Burt. You've earned it." Watching SpaceShipOne fly in 2004 is one of the happiest memories of my life. Thanks, Mr. Rutan.

I know that Burt Rutan has had some serious health problems in the past 2 year. I hope that a worry free retirement improves his health and well being and yields him a long life. He is one awesomely creative individual.
Godspeed Burt Rutan !
