Rickster71 Audioholic Spartan Oct 14, 2012 #26 Can't believe I missed this live. How long did the decent portion of the jump take.. anyone know?
majorloser Moderator Oct 14, 2012 #27 I can't wait till they post the videos from the cameras on his suit. He was spinning quite a bit in the beginning.

majorloser Moderator Oct 14, 2012 #28 It's hard to believe he was 40,000 feet higher than the SR-71 flew. What's next? Jumping from the space station?

Adam Audioholic Jedi Oct 14, 2012 #34 I like the part where he's told to unbuckle his seatbelt, and he initially doesn't do it. The guy tells him again to do it. I can only imagine what the jumper was thinking. After a two-hourish ascent, he probably just wanted a second to enjoy the view. If that were me, though, I'd be like, "Ummm, **** this...and **** you, old man. I'm closing the door. Get me the h*** down! "

majorloser Moderator Oct 14, 2012 #36 I figure he was just going through a split second reality check, "Am I really about to do this?"
