The company did not succeed, and he couldn't pay the money back, and I was the guarantor of the note. So, I had a $100,000 debt, and I noticed that the Kramer prize for human-powered flight, which had then been around for -- (Laughter) -- 17 years at the time, was 50,000 pounds, which, at the exchange rate, was just about 100,000 dollars.
Compania lui a dat faliment şi nu a putut returna împrumutul, iar eu eram girantul. Aşa că m-am trezit cu o datorie de 100, 000 de dolari. Şi am observat că premiul Kramer pentru zborul cu propulsie umană care exista deja - (Râsete) - de 17 ani, era de 50,000 de lire, care, cu rata de schimb, erau cam 100,000 de dolari.
