Nowadays, why bother to put a pilot in this thing?

I love this stuff. How is Rutan doing with his space craft effort?

Unveiled before international media in January, the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer is designed to take on what Virgin Chairman Sir Richard Branson calls the "last great aviation record on Earth" - a solo, nonrefueled flight around the world.

But the last great aviation record was already achieved by...

Rutan's previous trans-global record-setter, the Voyager, the first aircraft to circle the globe without refueling.

It looks like the rcord was already broken...what's up with this?.
