RogerSmith Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 glad I clicked it in time, saw it just before he open the canopy Quote
+Dave Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 This was just a few minutes after he opened his chute. 1 Quote
fallenphoenix1986 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Looks like Kittinger's time record stands. Got the rest though Craig Quote
Toryu Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Fingers crossed, he made it through the Mach. Let's see, what the official figues say. Congrats and way to go! Quote
Juhis Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 1170 km/h (727 mph?) was the highest speed i saw Quote
Toryu Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 1170 km/h (727 mph?) was the highest speed i saw ...which would be supersonic at that altitude. There's some doubt about the measurement-technique. We'll see, what the official numbers are. Quote
+Brain32 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Very cool stuff, almost missed it but Crusader and Fubar buzzed me just in time, thx guys Quote
+Stary Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Watched whole mission with family, dad got nervous near the end when he ascended well beyond planned altitude and it looked like baloon is gonna poop in no time, great and thrilling to watch. Quote
KJakker Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Something that annoyed me was that the local media where I live thought that this was the first time ever that this had been done and did not even acknowledge Joseph Kittinger's earlier jumps. Quote
JediMaster Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I'm sorry, were you expecting the media to actually practice journalism in 2012, doing research and being informed on what they're reporting on? Please say no, otherwise I might laugh so hard as to die from my mouth opening larger than the Earth itself! Quote
