I spent the morning recording it, cannot wait to see any video if there was taken from his perspective.
why didn’t he continue his free fall??? he was just a few seconds away from breaking the record....
gotta say watched the video and it is super exciting...
"Let me tell you - when I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble. You don't think about breaking records anymore, you don't think about gaining scientific data - the only thing that you want is to come back alive," he said afterwards at a media conference.
When he reached the planned jump altitude, he popped open the capsule hatch and unbuckled his seat belt. "Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you are," he radioed as he balanced on the narrow step outside the capsule. "I'm going home now."
1. Did you make a sonic boom?
2. What kind of in-suit system do you have for keeping big balls of steel warm?
Watched it this morning. Pretty cool !
Felix and Joe...
That’s how men should be.
