    And someone was going to be the first person to climb Everest, get to the North/South Poles etc etc etc.

    However, the first will always be that, the first. It is the pushing the boundaries of human endeavor rather than the actual achievement that earns the plaudits I believe.

    First they came for the socialists...

    His record only last a few weeks, yet more people have reached the top of Everest than have run the mile in less than 4 minutes.

    A quote from the man himself

    "It stood there as something that was waiting to be done, and I was in the right place at the right time and was ready to do it. My attitude was that it can be done, and it will be done soon, and I'd rather it were done here."
