english: The company did not succeed, and he couldn't pay the money back, and I was the guarantor of the note. So, I had a $100,000 debt, and I noticed that the Kramer prize for human-powered flight, which had then been around for -- (Laughter) -- 17 years at the time, was 50,000 pounds, which, at the exchange rate, was just about 100,000 dollars.
non_english: Şirket başarılı olamadı ve o parayı geri ödeyemedi, ve borcun kefili bendim. Yani $100,000 dolar borcum vardı, ve insan gücüyle uçuş için verilen Kramer ödülünün ( o zamanlarda 17 yıldır veriliyordu) £50,000 olduğunu farkettim, ki o zamanın kuruyla $100,000 a denk geliyordu.
