Man set to jump from edge of space, live now.

Good news that they bailed, now I'll be able to watch it. Didn't even know about it before.

Anybody on here ever been sky diving? Not I. I've been base jumping though.

Yep. Did it once when I was in college. Great experience, especially when I felt the chute open.

What height is he gonna jump at?

 

[Chris-L]

23 miles, hes at 21 now

 

[UGLI baby]

Cool. So in like 15 minutes?

 

[Chris-L]

yah i assume he will be at altitude by then, not sure what needs to be done before the jump

Won't breaking the sound barrier possibly cause him a lot of trauma? Fighter jets have that little needle extending from the nose to cause the shock wave to "miss" the rest of the aircraft.

 

[Chris-L]

not sure of any of the science behind it, but he's got some uber space suit on that I would assume will protect him somehow

the guy commenting on this sounds like david locke

The guy telling him what to do seems to be biffing the link rather hard.
