Good to go ! space jump live !, by Coach on Oct 14, 2012 19:30:42 GMT 1, Thanks for the heads up that this was happening outlawed. Had wanted to watch it last week, but it was cancelled. Balls the size of elephant's if you ask me! When he stood on the ledge, I was on the edge of my seat. I also thought he was screwed when he started spinning. I half expected the screen to go dead, as I do know there was a delay so they could cut it, if anything went wrong. Incredible stuff.

As coach said massive balls for saying yeah I don't mind jumping out of it and breaking the speed of sound!

Good to go ! space jump live !, by searchandrescue on Oct 15, 2012 9:03:01 GMT 1, Amazing stuff! So glad he made it through sound barrier and got back safely. Wasn't around for moon landings but may be a similar buzz? Made me think of The Abyss when he was just drifting down. Can't believe he landed like normal...crazy! The test pilot who helped train him must have been stoked too.

Good to go ! space jump live !, by sal on Oct 15, 2012 13:35:18 GMT 1, what Im most impressed about all this is that fact that Joseph Kittinger did a very, very similar thing, just 50 years ago...
I can not imagine how that would be even possible with the technology back than?!.. he was the guy that was communicating with Felix from the ground, helping him to break his records..
interesting trivia - apparently his right glove malfunctioned during the ascent (it ripped, but he didnt wanna say it cause he was afraid they're gonna cancel the mission?!), and his right hand swelled up to twice its normal size during the jump..

Incredible.
Good to see he's got his tool box taped to his arse!
