    I know some people I’d like to have thrown from a plane at that altitude. Parachute optional.

    Looks like it won’t happen today. Mission aborted due to wind gusts.

    Waiting for wind to be below 2 mph. Sweet, that will never happen. This guy was supposed to do this last year and bailed because he was getting closterphobic in his space suit.

    We know airplanes and rockets make a bang passing the sound barrier so what sound does a small object like a person make?

    PPPHH-T?

    Inquiring minds want to know.

    94,000 feet is nowhere near 28 miles…more like 17. He will jump around 24.
