If you read the article, you’d learn that they refueled twice a day by lowering a hose down to a speeding truck.


It's great to offer correct information, but please don't be rude on HN.

Apologies, I've a bad habit of skipping paragraphs in long articles. When I was at the bottom, I even searched for 'gas' (which showed me vegas) tried 'fuel' as well but I couldn't remember if it returned anything on Firefox, or did something wrong, was quite late into the night.


We shouldn't downvote for this reason. Some of us are on such a limited and remote internet connection that verbose HN comments are our only gateway to the article's knowledge.


Say what? If the page loaded enough for someone to know it was an awesome story, then they’d know how it was refueled if they read the article. That said, GP shouldn’t have said “if you read the article” that way (I’m guilty of it too though), it’s demeaning and is called out in the rules not to do it.


Agree with everything you said, but someone else described how they flew without landing. I appreciate this, because I specifically can't read the article :)

Also my score is -1 on that comment
