I found it funny how they made all that happen and then couldn't figure which direction the wind was coming from at the end :D | ||

Can't wait to see some more footage from the body cameras as well  I think he did it. Between ~10km and 20km altitude, speed of sound is only about 885 km/h. | ||

The balloon is controlled, there's a "door" on top of it which they used to release some of the helium when he was going too high. The capsule is probably equipped with a parachute, too. I would assume they want it back. | ||

Speed of sound is alot faster than that, when the atmosphere is lower though - I dunno if they have taken that into account or just going by the speed of sound at sealevel | ||
