    In reply to Solar Impulse Plane Flies For First Time in Switzerland
    Going on 10 years and just getting off the ground.

    Two questions:
    Who's funding this?
    (and when you find them ask them)
    Can I have some money too?

    @Jesus_Jones: Per [en.wikipedia.org] ,

    According to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale's rules, for a flight to compete for a round-the-world speed record, it must cover a distance no less than the length of the Tropic of Cancer as well as cross all meridians and end on the same airfield where it started. This length is set to be 36787.559 kilometres

    So he's flying a plane that isn't even going 50 MPH?! Is he one of those old people who stays in the left lane at maddeningly slow speeds?

    I predict this symbiotic suit will need to be constantly tugged down when he stands up.
