Roy Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 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.

woodenboater Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskieman Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Most amazing thing i have seen since man allegedly set foot on the moon. Awesome courage, and emotional landing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handlebarz Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch312 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Video says he is at 128000' but mission control says 113000' ??? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
