Kinda bummed he didnt break Joe Kittinger's free fall record.


Anywho seeing Joe Kittinger all day in mission control was fucking classic. If this guy doesnt become an internet meme stat its a crime

I believe he did not break the speed of sound.
Although their measurements might be different.

real question

given the same budget and support team, would you do it?

ive sky dived before so not scurred of the sensation, but extremely worried I'd pass out from pressure changes or something weird going on. I'd like to say I'd do it, if I wouldnt it would be due to personal physical limitations

yea as long as i was fit enough to keep the blood pumping when spinning in freefall

sure he must've experienced well over 7-8 G's during those first few minutes

Kind of gutted they didn't show any footage from his body cams during the jump.

Maybe if I had like 20 years of skydiving experience like he does.

freaked me out for a sec when he said that, don't blame him for pulling the chute early, a couple of records is enough for one day
