Coolest thing since Yeager and Rutan flew non-stop around the globe on one tank of gas.

Amazing. He had to have broken Mach -- but it's a shame that he didn't break the longest free-fall record.

It's cool for Kittinger, though -- his record stands!

 

[Mr. H.]

After he landed, the wife stood up and said "you should do that, honey."

Rriiight.....

That is very cool... they share a unique bond for life.

awesome to watch, the sirens went off here to warn of the start of it so if something went wrong could watch for falling junk. the sirens went off a bit ago to mark the end of danger i guess, too cool. and I am 3 hours away by car to roswell, couldn't see anything although we were told to watch for the reflection off the balloon.
was just too cool.

I think Felix did that on purpose.

I hope it doesn't take another 50 years to break this record
