Holy crap! He's only at 31000' and it's already -40.

Survives and just shy of breaking the sound barrier.

Its pretty awesome that the recod holder is also involved. That would be the old guy talking to Felix on the ground.

No wings, ran out. Gave him a parachute instead. lol

96 000 ft...

I've jumped 5 times, but couldn't imagine what it would be like to free fall for. 4 minutes and 36 seconds

Funny that the temperature is increasing. They're saying close to 0 when they reach full altitude. I would have expected it to be wayyyyyyy colder.

 

[zal]

0F. Right now its -23C.

Sad that the highest balloon accend ended in tragedy. Both go up in the capsule, both land to earth in the capsule (Gulf of Mexico). Then when they came and picked them up with the helicopter, the one guy slips from the harness and drowns.

[zal]

It's worth it, and I highly recommend it. If you are thinking about doing it.
Bungee jumping was harder than leaving a good plane. LOL
