For instance, Joseph Kittinger got to over 600mph. | ||

If I were to do this, my mind would be haunting me with phrases like "There's a fine line between being very brave and very stupid." I don't think I could go through with it mainly because of my family. | ||

Otherwise, people reach terminal velocity pretty quick so shouldn't really make a difference height wise. This still sounds god damn cool, and probably super fun. | ||

Certainly a survivable temperature. It gets way colder on the way down though, for him coldest about half way down. It's the lack of pressure and oxygen that would instantly kill him. | ||
