Stress level: 10800 m, cruising speed: 780 km/h (several times normal blood pressure, well above survival, i.e. a medical miracle). The view? Unbeatable. A soft carpet of white duvet clouds as far as the eye can see. Optimum. Plato. Energy and anger in perfect harmony. It lifts as much as it carries you forward. Got a problem? Well, yes, it's cloudy under the clouds, I'll only hear about it when there's more and then you'll rise too. There are also articles about hypersonic flight. Who cares? It's played for time. Failure (falling down?), sure, but gliding, now that's an art.
Prolonging the unbearable
