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

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!
