Toryu 156 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KJakker 910 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please say no, otherwise I might laugh so hard as to die from my mouth opening larger than the Earth itself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
