If you don't know yet Felix Baumgartner is trying a skydive from 120,000 ft!

Been watching this for hours now.

Must be a quicker way to get to 120,000 feet........

Landed, now the stats... Didn't look like he made the longest free fall mark but he mentioned his visor fogging up so I guessed he pulled the shoot a tad earlier. No big deal IMO it's still nuts to jump from 128,000 ft. It also looked like he was spinning badly at the start before hitting controllable air density.
