Terminal velocity is when the forces of gravity on an object reach a homeostatic point with the resistance of the medium that is being traversed. By going to an altitude of 120,000+ feet, he’s hoping to accelerate as much as he can in a virtually frictionless environment where the forces to counter the acceleration from gravity are mitigated.
