Live jump from edge of space..

[The Infidel]

Amazing. He had to have broken Mach

Mach 1.24, or 833.9 mph, according to "preliminary data"... whatever that means.

It was alot of fun watching this with you guys, while talking to my dad on the phone, who was watching it on Discovery Channel...

We all shared a moment


(does this mean Im gay?)

 

[Mr. H.]

You are definitely gay.

They said he got nervous and pulled the chute early, because his face shield was still fogged over. So he didn't break record of longest time in freefall.

 

[Mr. H.]

Oh ok- just saw w's post. Yeah- maybe intentionally. Cool move on his part.

Nothing whatsoever to do with Obama... I vote we leave that dick out of this thread.

 

[William Joyce]

Big balls on that dude.

Baumgartner, not Obama.

 

[Unkotare]

Big balls on that dude.

And none on you.

 

[techieny]

Amazing shit. I get vertigo on a fricking step stool!!!

 

[Billo_Really]

Can anyone answer why he didn't burn up re-entering the earths atmosphere?

 

[Unkotare]

Can anyone answer why he didn't burn up re-entering the earths atmosphere?

Because he wasn't outside the earth's atmosphere?

Nor was he going fast enough.

This was the correct answer.

Most meteors burn up in the mesosphere, which is far above where he jumped from.

That too !! Opening that hatch and hopping out was awesome. Great film on the whole thing.

 

[Unkotare]

He wasn't really near being outside the earth's atmosphere. Higher than anyone else has ever jumped from though. That suit he was wearing must be a serious piece of technology.

He'll never pay for another drink again.

 

[Mr. H.]

It appeared he was in a flat spin for a time. I thought he was a goner.
