He broke the record set by Felix Kittinger in 1960[^]. He had help from Kittinger, so he wasn't totally in the dark. Not taking anything away from him it was a hell of an accomplishment, but they made no mention of Kittinger in the article.

So, was he actually in free-fall, or did he have some sort of propulsion system to make him go faster? Mach 1 (1x the sound barrier) is 761mph. ChatGPT says a human's terminal velocity is around 120mph, but if you're "shaped like a cylinder", that can be increased to something like 350mph. Still not even halfway there. What gives? Am I gonna have to watch that video? [Edit] Lack of air resistance at that altitude seems to be the reason they're giving. But if we're gonna play that game, an astronaut free-floating around the ISS is going over 17,000mph.

perhaps you might inquire ChatBot re/ specifics as per Mr. Baumgartner viz. initial altitude .

a simple calculation viz. no air resistance no variation of gravity wrt height so constant acceleration 32'/s/s initial altitude 127852' results in a final speed of 1942 miles per hour .
