McBeane Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 That was one of the most incredible things I've ever witnessed. I'm truly in awe. I need to pick up skydiving haha.
Acantha Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 I think that was one of the most intense, amazing things I've ever seen.
The Poojer Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 dude just parachuted 24 miles and the biggest thrill for me were 2 chicks kissing..... what a feat though...holy crap
PromoTheRobot Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 This may have started as a publicity stunt but they may have proven than an astronaut could jump to earth from space in an emergency. Truly amazing. Anyone notice they stopped the feed in the middle? There was a point where he was close to spinning out if control.
The Cincinnati Kid Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Unreal. One of the coolest things i've ever seen.
Best Player Available Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 dude just parachuted 24 miles and the biggest thrill for me were 2 chicks kissing..... what a feat though...holy crap Worth the time too watch this jump. I thought he said a couple minutes in freefall "I'm fighting to stay conscious" No kidding! Sometime the internet tubes can produce some very cool things! Excellent coverage.
bbb Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 What happened to the whole burning up going through the atmosphere thing? Did we waste a lot of money on those heat shields on the space capsules?
The Poojer Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Felix Baumgartner breaks record for fastest free fall, previously held by the 2011(and 2012) Red Sox. -- The Fake ESPN
stevestojan Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Thought I was watching him die when he started spinning seemingly out of control.
Britbillsfan Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) What happened to the whole burning up going through the atmosphere thing? Did we waste a lot of money on those heat shields on the space capsules? Nah, he was going REALLY SLOW compared to when re-entry vehicles come down. dude just parachuted 24 miles and the biggest thrill for me were 2 chicks kissing..... what a feat though...holy crap Ah, The Poojer we have come to know and love.* *(But not like that)** **(Not that there is anything wrong with that if it floats your boat) Edited October 14, 2012 by Britbillsfan

Just Jack Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Some science type person made this graphic, showing he really wasn't at "the edge of space" when he jumped today.
PromoTheRobot Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I was doing food shopping today. Saw a 12pk of 8.4oz cans of Red Bull....$19.95! PTR Edited October 16, 2012 by PromoTheRobot
Wacka Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Turned it on about 5 minutes before he opened the hatch. The man who was CapCom is Joseph Kittinger, whose records Bumgartner broke.
