Space Jump
Eh...never really got into the whole extreme stunt stuff, but seriously, the space jump was pretty amazing.
Wow.

Re: Space Jump
Agreed. All in all, it was kinda boring. All the way up, then all the way down. But to think of a human free falling at 650 MPH? That was amazing. I wonder what his shorts looked like when he finally hit the ground

Re: Space Jump
Yeah, I didn't sit and watch every minute. Just kinda tracked it while I worked at home, then by the time I made it to the party at my parents, helped out there a bit, it was time for the jump. Pretty cool seeing some sky dive from the edge of the strato like that!
I think the top speed for the freefall was over 720 miless an hour? Then he did the tumbling maneuver to slow down some.

Re: Space Jump
720 mph is what I heard yesterday too. Today I heard 830 and he broke the sound barrier

Re: Space Jump
Well , you would fall faster after you lightened your load as you'd puke,....I wonder if he was traveling faster than the speed of sound, if he could hear himself screaming.

Re: Space Jump
Do you think if his shute didn't open, that he would of left an impression on the ground like Wile-E-Coyote does whenever he falls from a canyon cliff in the shape of his body?...
