At 90,000 feet now. Amazing.

I think he (Felix Baumgartner) jumps at 120 and breaks Mach 1 in seconds.

Needs one... ha!

Is he one of those crazy jumpers that does the nats and jumped into Reno during supermoto? Those cats are big ballers plunging into downtown high rises. At Washougal this year, one of the jumpers clipped the top of a fir tree before landing. The crowd gasped!

didn't know anything about this until now. What is he going to do....free fall back to land? In the suit correct......not inside the capsule?

When you're that good your work just speaks for itself.

He's been an asset to me on every team and program I've been involved with.
I'm never shy on recommending him to others, and still do!

I don't think the ascent was meant to be exciting it's just a fact that It takes a while to float up to space in a balloon.

Three world records. They didn't get the total length of time for free fall though.

Thanks Ozzy and Tuned Length. And congratulations to Felix and the whole Red Bull Stratos team and Art Thompson's Sage-Cheshire and A2Zfx. Thanks to all on VitalMX for all the kind compliments I've gotten from all the Vitard's on here over the years Tongue . I was a small cog in a huge machine of people.
