Watch that first step!

It's a rather large one! Man eyes free-fall from 25 miles above Earth[^] Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic
I'm waiting for the next stage where they aerobrake out of low earth orbit with a disposable personal heatshield before transitioning to the freefall component. Now that would be something to see :omg:

Every time I fly, I think about how cool it would be to fall out of a plane, at least up to the point where you connect with the ground. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog
I have thing about heights, so to me, it isn't so much how cool it would be to fall. But I do think about how, sitting in the window seat, that there is only 2" of aluminum, insulation, and glass between you and 500mph air rushing past your elbow! Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

It said that he will enter super-sonic speeds! That's surreal! :omg: I would love it if he were to wear a video camera during the fall so that the rest of the world could see it from his perspective. :cool: :josh: My WPF Blog[^]
Up that high, you can't tell that your actually falling at all! Wanna see?? Click![^] Back in the late 50's, here in the The States, there was a little experiment, called Project Manhigh. This is the set of jumps that set the 102,800 foot jump record. What's it like up there?? -70 degrees F. The ballon was only about 40 feet acrossed on the ground and nearly the size of a U.S Football field at altitude... Freefall for over 4 and half minutes... Top speed of about 615mph, without a vehicle! And this guy did it 5 times! Why did they do this? It's the grandfather program of radiobiology! Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

Yeah!! Freefall from thousands of miles up!! Now THAT'S a sight to behold! :-D Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

Someone's gonna get freaked out when a couple of man-eyes fall in their swimming pool :omg:
