MH6~SPARTA~ Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Felix Baumgartner is currently ascending to his designated jump height. He is currently at 90,000ft, which is higher than the operational altitude of the SR-71 Blackbird. His final altitude will be ~120,000ft when he exits the capsule. If successful, this will be the highest freefall by a single man in history, surpassing that of Kittinger's 102,800ft jump in 1960. And it will all be streamed live. Don't you just fucking love technology? Here is the live stream: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrIxH6DToXQ&feature=player_embedded Edit: Jump was successful. He tumbled a bit in the upper atmosphere but stabilized and came in for a beautifully soft landing. Edited October 14, 2012 by MH6~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrupts my post everytime I edit, I have to erase everything, copy to notepad, and paste it back just so it doesn't insert fucking div and br tags everywhere.

Gunthar~SPARTA~ Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 He was only expected to just barely break the sound barrier but he went well over 100mph faster than expected. First reports are the sheer size of his superhuman testicles increased his velocity significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
