My Take
What fascinates me about Alan Eustace is the contrast he embodies. Here is a man who reached the top of Google's engineering ranks through pure intellect, then, at 58, quietly stepped off the edge of the stratosphere from over 135,000 feet. He broke Baumgartner's record without the circus of sponsorship that surrounded it, treating a death-defying jump like an engineering problem to be solved methodically. To me he represents a rare breed: the cerebral adventurer who proves that curiosity, properly equipped, can carry an ordinary-looking man to the literal edge of space. I find that deeply inspiring.
