Also, someone did this in 1960 (less 17,000 ft) and his suit failed on the way up too. So for me, this is a pretty weak publicity stunt and not very impressive at all. 50 years for 17,000ft? Pathetic imo. you're totally right, possibly setting 5 world records is weak publicity and not very impressive at all. don't be such a downer, it's 36km more then you jumped. | ||

Well 60M just to tell people stuff about 2 candidates seems too much. But well it's only 60M, how about wasting some hundred billions on war in irak? Also: people need heroes and baumgartner is one. | ||
