Longest free fall yes. Fastest I think 729mph is a new record.
How did he fail the longest part? What happened?
I am guessing that he opened his chute a lot higher than the last mad bastard that did it. The sound barrier was broken though.

First cat food to jump from space.

So what happened? Did he jump from less than 108k feet ( i think that was the record) or did he release his chute too early?

Sounds like the ground crew didn't have the foggiest idea what direction the wind was coming from!

He didn't get the longest ever freefall (something like 4 minutes)
That's "what the fuck" he's talking about.
