All that parasitic drag is better? Especially when trying to hit Mach 1?

If I ever hit Mach 1 in free fall, I want to be stable. Spinning uncontrollably at that speed might not be good.

I heard this Thursday he could try again weather permitting.

M.D. Holloway 10-09-2012 08:03 PM
Things are gonna get plenty hot. Should have slathered him up with some silicone oil...

The slacker!

I have a very good book on this. It is in storage.
Kittinger suffered decompression ..in his hand..along with torturous old tech.

I cannot even imagine what it would feel like to be standing at the edge of the atmosphere, looking down at 7 billion people, for several seconds, knowing you were THE ONE to be doing such a thing. That is really amazing!

After two delays in two days due to weather and winds, Red Bull has tentatively set the next launch for it's 23 mile record breaking supersonic space jump for Sunday morning.


If the weather cooperates this time, live coverage will be starting at 6:30 AM MDT/8:30 AM EDT Sunday....

It looks like they're going to go this morning.

Schrup 10-14-2012 08:20 AM
Looks like they are launching early, ballon's nearly full.
