We are not impressed. Do something new

BBC NEWS | England | Hampshire | Wrong-way sailor back on UK soil
So another woman thinks she's achieved something by sailing round the world.
This time it's because she went the "wrong way" round (ie against prevailing winds, and currents etc). You haven't achieved anything, because it has been done before.
Why have these solo women been given so much publicity. Besides self-satisfaction, YOU HAVE NOT ACHIEVED ANYTHING!!! You are not sailing uncharted waters, you are not discovering new lands, you are just being self indulgent.
What benefit does it afford to the human race to know that now it's possible for a single person to sail the world on their own. Will it become common pastime, in a hundred years, to just up and leave, and sail to New Zealand? Twelve weeks alone on a boat will be something we will all take for granted, because of the pioneering efforts of these women!
Neither is it impressive to me that in recent weeks two teenagers became the youngest Britons to scale Everest and a couple became the first married British couple to scale the mountain.
Notice the way they had to point out the fact that both these 'achievements' were British records? It's probably because the indiginous 15-year-olds take their girlfriends to the summit every Friday night for a bit of hows-your-father.
If you really want to achieve something truly remarkable, do something new. Land on Mars, invent a perpetual motion device; something that will actually be of use to mankind, not just some excuse to feed your own self-indulgence.
