I just want that guy come done healthy no matter at what speed. If he has something in front of the window... imagine the last thing he saw was the air field and after 2+ hours he opens the door and there is the whole planet in front of his eyes | ||

It's hard to say something is safe when you are jumping from 120k feet... The jump itself Shouldn't be a problem(Though obviously a shit ton of things can go horribly wrong) What I'm most worried/intrigued by is the human body will actually react to breaking the sound barrier while not being protected by a plane/ship etc. | ||

I understand the low pressure effectively negates any heat gained though this method, but can anyone comment on how significant/negligible heating from "atmospheric entry" will be? (wrong term, but useful for thinking about this subject) hes gonna have the same problems as anything entering the atmosphere. there will be considerable heat, but his suit is designed with this in mind. | ||

Fun fact: At an altitude of 63,000 feet (18,900 m), water boils at only 37°C (98.6°F), the normal body temperature of humans. | ||
