    Donald Malcolm Campbell, CBE (23 March 1921 – 4 January 1967) was a British speed record breaker who broke eight absolute world speed records on water and on land in the 1950s and 1960s. He remains the only person to set both world land and water speed records in the same year (1964). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Campbell)

    Pointless, open for debate. Through out history men and women have pushed limits, explored, discovered, and yes have died. They continue to push limits. More will die.

    We all will die someday. Some will leave behind newly discovered information for others to build upon. Others will only leave behind only foot prints, on the paths cleared by others.
