Either that, or a few concussions while his head was being tossed around inside his helmet during his descent.
It seems that, some people (many?), only perform certain feats in order to gain attention for their agendas.

Actually considering his day job, it perhaps not unreasonable to assume that Felix Baumgartner is totally unsuited to judge what is, and what is not, a waste of money.

Mars is a waste of money. It’s lack of a magnetic core render it uninhabitable.

I’m very big on our next missions to the Moon and Mars being robotic missions, and not just any robots, but nuclear powered tunnel mining robots.
Once they make tunnels, the future logistics of going to both the Moon and Mars become a lot easier, and more importantly, the missions become cumulative, not just “one shots”. It gets the eventual astronauts out of the vacuum, cosmic and enhanced radiation, extremes of heat and cold, and they can bring more supplies and equipment other than living quarters every time.
And the robot continues its work when there are no people around, in between manned missions, as well as providing a lot of nuclear energy when they are there, for heat, light, air, water and fuel.

Here’s something new...
Clicked on “The Telegraph” article.
Their website blocks me from highlighting text.
No highlight means no cut & paste.
First time I’ve ever seen this on the Web.

So Felix, goes to the edge of space and says, "I'm going home now".
He doesn't step into history, he dives back into the gravity well and then advocates staying home.
Felix, in the end you are a coward.
