Bertrand Piccard just took off to start the Atlantic Crossing
Bertrand Piccard just embarked on the first solo transatlantic crossing in a solar-powered airplane. He took off from JFK, New York at 6:30AM UTC, 8:30AM CET, and 2:30AM EDT on June 20th and will be landing at Seville Airport, Spain approximately 90 hours later. We have already proved perpetual endurance with Solar Impulse 2 and now we will do it again with Bertrand Piccard in the cockpit to close the last big stretch of ocean. This flight is one of the most challenging legs of the Round-The-World Solar Flight.
Someday solar energy will take over.Most people realize that a lot of great inventors and inventions have been suppressed because of big oil and $$ in general.If great minds like Tesla (for instance)had been allowed to achieve their full potential the world would be a different place today.
