I realize I'm not putting much thought into this post, and I forget
the name of the guy that is uber-rich, that made a few unsucessful
baloon adventures to try to float around the world, or the atlantic
etc, then he flew a plane for some record around the world soso
attempt, then on his last adventure of what ever glorious feat he was
labeled as "missing"..

What ever came of the guy? Did he survive? be found? rescued? or is
still..."Missing"?

Steve Fossett is the name you are tring to remember. His wife has gone to
court to have him declared dead.

She must be holding some large insurance polices.
