quote [ Virgin Galactic's tourist-carrying spaceplane has taken a step closer to entering service after its chemical rocket engine was fired for the first time in the skies over the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. With test pilots Mark "Forger" Stucky and Dave Mackay at the controls, the 60-ft-long (18 m) SpaceShipTwo VSS Unity pegged the speedometer at Mach 1.87 (1,424 mph, 2,290 km/h) within 30 seconds of igniting its engine. ]
These pilots train on a flight sim, but man, that rush when you light it up.
Follow-up to this post from 2014, about a fatal crash during a test.

You know, if The Devil Went Down to Georgia, the Devil is respectful and courteous to Johnny, and humble in his defeat. And he is completely honest with Johnny about Johnny's chances of winning the bet, before Johnny accepts it. Johnny on the over hand exhibits avarice and pride, and talks shit to the devil, who is shown to be just doing his job.
Who's the real villain here?
