Anyone calculate how big of a hole he is going to make?

[206]

I think even if he dies the shute will open...He almost choked to death on a test jump from lower altitude

 

this is nuts, but technology is wonderful!

[206]

CNN is ahead of my "Live" feed?

[danbouck]

Video says he is at 128000' but mission control says 113000' ???

[Jigger]

Big stones! Cant imagine the thoughts as he stepped out and then off. That is one crazy guy!!!

That was awesome

[grt1]

[lew]

Give the guy an A+ for guts !!

[TJQ]

That was just incredible.

Just finished watching for 2 hrs! Awesome! Guy's got guts!

[Handlebarz]

That was crazy awesome.

Watched the whole thing. History being made. Now tell me that you had dry eyes as you witnessed his safe landing and watched his family and friends as they watched him land. Just great. Thanks for putting me onto it Dave.

Man, dropping into a half pipe was crazy enough for me back in the day. But to step off into nothing from 120XXX feet is totally off the charts. Hopefully this can lead to technology that can help astronauts who encounter severely adverse situations.

 

It was great to watch his mom's reaction and her immense relief when he came out of the spin and deployed the chute.

[Muskieman]

First ever televised suicide attempt , glad he didn't succeed , that was pretty cool ... Excellent protocol and safety measures , a whole lot better than the Wellenda/Niagara crossing ....

Contrats to Felix Baumgartner !

[mercman]

Most amazing thing i have seen since man allegedly set foot on the moon. Awesome courage, and emotional landing

[Handlebarz]

I watched it on my iPhone with my son it was cool sitting on the couch sharing the time. Best part was when Mikey said what would happen if he lands on a cactus all I could do was laugh more then a lol. I was very worried when he was spinning then silence and the shot of mission control it did not seem good for that short period.

That could sure open a can of worms Paul !!!!!.

i think they meant the cabins pressure was equivalent to X number of feet while he was at 128k and equalizing the pressure. of course, i could be totally wrong
