trmpton Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Confirmed speed - 833.9MPH!!! And I hadn't realised the old bloke who was talking him through the check list was Joe Kittinger, who did the jump in 1960 and who still hold the freefall time record. What he did today was incredible, but to thing back over 50 years and to do similar without all the analysis, prediction, and technology thats available now was something else. Both these men are far far braver than I could ever be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebees Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Lonan, last time I went out, it looked to me like there were lots of people already high on capsules In fact, the way doctors hand out 'all kinds of shit', I'm surprised that there are not more people obviously high around the place.

Pierrot Lunaire Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Amazing that. Even more amazing is just how obviously globular Earth looks at what is really not that far up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
