<p>[quote user="henry6"]</p> <p> <blockquote> <div>Today such preperatons would probably take months; back then, the bold decisions were made routinly and they were always looking for ways to make a splash, get attention, and prove themselves (proving what was maybe not always clear). It wouldn't be considered today. Not just because it couldn't be done today, but it would take a wild imagination with a need so dire it is incomprehensable!</div> </blockquote> </p> <p> </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yes, I don’t think this speed run even could be done today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was a product of a bold and wild time when adventure was king.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it were today, there would probably be a bunch of naysayers who would prove the speed could not be achieved, so there was no need to try.
