LOL. Oh ya. Truly historic. He's recreating a feat first accomplished by the X-15 in 1959. 62 years ago! And it was done 199 more times thru 1968.
First flown June 8, 1959, the three X-15 aircraft made 199 powered flights, concluding with the last flight on Oct. 24, 1968. Flight maximums of 354,200 feet in altitude and a speed of 4,520 miles per hour were obtained.
