His main 2 aims today were to a) Break the sound barrier
b) to complete the highest ever skydive
He achieved both of these, what a incredible achievement. And what balls you would have to have to be standing there, 128 000 feet in the there, and jump.

I have heard that when he went to his medical after announcing all this the Red Bull doctor first though he had elephantis.

The images of him falling away from the capsule were just staggering! Incredible balls to do that, I have done a sky dive so know the buzz, but that was just different class, top top man!

''Longest duration'', not ''biggest''. If that is the case, he did 'fail' as he deployed the chute before the target elapsed time.RandomJ said:I thought the big one he was aiming for was biggest free fall which he failed so I can see him being disapointed on the inside. Still don't get how he failed that though since he jumped from a higher altitude.
