How was this anything BUT a stunt? Seriously? Yeager pushed the limits to advance flight/space travel for all mankind. Yeager--and guys like him--often had no idea what the hell they were getting into, yet he did it anyway.
This guy pushed the limits to advance...Red Bull. Sure, a notable individual accomplishment, but in a month nobody will give a flip, because in the end it contributes nothing to future human achievement.
