    A
    Steve Fossett was a great adventurer. On
    3 July 2002, he became the first person to fly
    alone around the world in a balloon without
    stopping. The balloon was called the Spirit
    of Freedom. He was also famous for world swimmer
    records in sailing and as a plane pilot.

    B
    He started and finished his balloon trip in
    Queensland, Australia. It took him 13 days
    and eight hours. He flew a total distance of
    33,190 kilometres. He only slept for four hours
    a day, in short 45-minute periods. 1

    C
    Steve’s interest in adventure started when he
    was a child. He wasn’t good at team sports,
    but he was a good climber. At the age of 12,
    he climbed his first mountain. In his life, he
    climbed many high mountains, but not Everest.
    2
    D
    He was also a swimmer, sailor and plane
    pilot. In 1985, he swam from France to
    England in 22 hours. And he sailed and flew
    planes around the world many times.
