Yes he will try to break 4 records 1. First to Reach Supersonic Speed in Freefall. 2. Freefall from Highest Altitude: Expected jump from 120,000 ft. 3. Longest Freefall Time: Expected freefall of 5 minutes, 35 seconds or more 4. Highest Manned Balloon Flight: Expected ascent to 120,000 ft. | ||

Bring about 20% more viewers and make the entire thing that more memorable. Imagine the guy just about to jump from the balloon.. "You know what's funny Artosis?" "What?" *insert some random Tasteless joke that makes Artosis and 60M people laugh* | ||
