Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound barrier, dead at 97

I remember his old DieHard battery commercial: "I've been shot at, shot up, and shot down..."

Just think how much the world has changed in the lifetime of a person this age. More than at any time in the history of civilization. Yeager was born 20 years after the first powered flight of an airplane at Kitty Hawk. When he joined the Army Air Corps, the U.S. military was still flying biplanes for some uses. He died while landers roam the surface of Mars.
