That reminds me, earlier this month I saw a great PBS Nova episode about Neil Armstrong's life: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/space/first-man-on-moon.html http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/space/first-man-on-moon.html It talked a bit about the X-15 and some crazy situations Neil got into flying them, like skipping off the top of the atmosphere at supersonic speeds.
