He will rely on its oxygen tanks as the air is too thin to breathe –
and hope that the sheer force of the fall does not make him blackout.

Hope is not a plan. Although that little fact has become obscured since about 2008.

Almost sounds like something out of the book “Starship Troopers” where combat drops were made from space in personal aeroshells.

Been done before... Not sure that guy tried to break the sound barrier, but he did survive the trip.

What kind of aerodynamic structure will he be in to protect against friction ripping him apart?

I’m obviously no scientist, and I wonder why terminal velocity (120 mph or something) doesn’t come into play here if it’s supposedly “terminal”. I mean, he isn’t using power to drop, is he?

I’m confused. Help!

cheers
Jim

Can he hold off attempting this until next January so I can put him on my Celebrity Dead Pool list for 2013?

What an idiot.
I hope he enjoys breaking the sound barrier before deploying his chute. It will probably be the last thing he ever experiences except for frictional heating.

Already been done, an american test pilot or some such did this a long time ago.. but nice to see someone else deciding to try it.. I wouldn’t mind doing the whole ride to the edge of space, would be hell of a lot cheaper than a rocket ship.
