Seems like a reasonable enough way for a Froggy to commit suicide.

I will watch.

I believe your numbers are valid for STP.. But at 130k feet, air resistance is pretty much non-existant...

Simple, at the altitude he will be jumping from, the density of the atmosphere is minimal. The table you cite are for near sea level.

Check out Project Excelsior.

"On the third and last jump in Excelsior III on August 16, 1960, Captain Kittinger jumped from a height of 102,800 feet, almost 20 miles above the earth. With only the small stabilizing chute deployed, Kittinger fell for 4 minutes, 36 seconds. He experienced temperatures as low as minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum speed of 714 miles per hour, exceeding the speed of sound."

I hope he lands in an area where he can find someone to surrender to.
