This guy is attempting to set the record for the highest jump. He's about to jump in the next bit, and will break the sound barrier during his jump!

I'm watching, it's so cool but crazy at the same time!

 

[Libby Pritchett]

I'm watching, too. How wild!

 

[misfitinmn]

I'm listening. I can't watch. Even listening is going to give me a heart attack!!

 

[Jen22]

Wow! He's falling right now!! This is amazing!!

 

[Libby Pritchett]

OK, that was freakin' COOL!

 

[maryinaz]

That was cool! Thanks for the link Jennifer!

 

[mirjam]

AMAZING!!!! I get nauseous just watching it!
Seems like he also broke mach! wow...

 

[Jen22]

That is intense! Our whole family watched! I can't thank you enough for sharing that link! I'm so happy I got to watch that!!!

 

[Nikki Epperson]

That was insane!

 

[misfitinmn]

That was truly crazy, my stomach is in knots from watching it (but so grateful there are people in this world much braver than I to tackle feats like this!).

 

[NeverendingJen]

That was intense and amazing. So freaking cool. And even more awesome- the guy at mission control talking to him? That's Joe Kittinger, who held all the previous records for this stuff.

I missed the actual jump because I had to leave the house, but I was getting nervous just listening to everything. ACK!

I was flipping through the channels and saw it happening live when he was up in the capsule and they were going through all of the safety checks. I had so many mixed emotions about the whole thing that I think I might scrap it. Anyone know of a kit with a parachute?
