Well they "wasted" 50millions on this?

Let's see how much they wasted on the elections in US right now, or on war....

This actually is relevant to science so it's not a waste at all.... -.-



Well read again, that's why i wrote "wasted" not wasted ;-)

That's why you wrote... ... wasted not... wasted?

Yup at some point air restistance and earth gravity will equal out, and he will no longer accelerate. But I'm to lazy to calculate that now. Can probably be found somewhere on the internet .

That's at 1 atmosphere, it doesn't apply for a jump from this altitude. For instance, Joseph Kittinger got to over 600mph.

Was talking about this today with a network guy, there is going to be a 20 min delay on the stream. Incase he ends up a smear.

Takes some serious testicular fortitude to even think of doing this, I'd buy him a pint :D

No kidding. 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.

Can't remember where I read this, but I think the biggest danger is going into an uncontrolled spin? Vaguely remember something about a high rotation making it unsafe to depoly a parachute and probably messing with blood flow due to G-force.

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.

I doubt he is a smoking kinda guy ^^



I never thought of that, not even cigs though, maybe some pot could really help him out with this.

I hope he burns

I would be impressed if radar detection could even pick him up considering how small he is.

Considering its prolly freezing cold up there and not enough oxygen to breathe Id say the suit is kind of necessary for him to be alive and stuff

INterestingly it's not that cold up there. 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.
