Yep, I appreciate his sense of adventure. If you don't have a responsibility to care for someone else, taking a risk seems at least as good a deal as withering away on a deathbed like most people, and probably better. I got annoyed at obituaries in the paper because they rarely list cause of death. Would be proud of mine saying "rocketry accident".

Everyone else tries to carefully meet their death, usually while neglecting their health in the process. People are on their own rockets, just they have a longer fuse and the thud at the end is protracted over a much longer period of time.
