Mr. Sinister Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'm looking at it on TV, and they showed the jump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte51Coleman Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 They showed it online. They also showed it on Discovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte51Coleman Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'd love to know what his heart rate was just before he jumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostyj Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 http://gizmodo.com/5951563/first-human-supersonic-space-jump-live-coverage Not sure if it was live. But I think it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 I think 721 was his top speed. Too bad he didn't get the sound barrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 690 mph is the estimated speed to break the sound barrier at that altitude. Guess they'll have to check the altitude and speed and see if that was enough to break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Well, that was pretty cool. Now if they attach one of those sky surfers to his feet, how far do you think he can go? think he can glide 100 miles? ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 ^ If my calculations are correct, those sandtraps are mighty big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 That was really cool, and to think the guy is claustrophobic? He really needed to get out of that small space and get some serious air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'd have lost my ****, stepping out of that capsule right before the jump and gripping the handles. I think the mission control guy told him to adjust something else once he was out of the capsule, and he was holding to the platform thingamajig with one hand for a split second. I'd have left an imprint on that thing from gripping it so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I fell like that for a redhead, once. She really was a gymnast, too, so don't be too quick to mock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEREALTOR1 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I ended up watching it on Disco with my parents. That was awesome. Where did I see over 2 mil watching live on youtube (maybe it was a tweet on the link KB posted in the OP), then you figure another couple mil (at least) watching it on Disco. Cool that many people were tuned in to watch something like that. Makes me proud to know that even as the world becomes more and more of a distraction, our sense of adventure is still well intact.

PCS Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Well they say he traveled 800mph and broke the sound barrier. Quite the day he had yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
