One bad dude. Loved how he had Joe Kittinger as his “mission control”.

Very cool. Kind of hard to watch, if you don’t like heights very much.

Breaking a record that stood for 50 years.

Notice his pulse and respiration rate monitor. More than twice of normal.

Wondering why no sonic boom surpassing Mach1 and topping out at 819mph in freefall?

Wonder how a sonic boom wearing only a suit can impact the body?

Wow!!! Thanks for posting. I watched this when it was televised live and was amazed that he didn’t lose consciousness when he was in that uncontrolled spin. I’m even more amazed at seeing it from HIS cam. Very impressive. I guess he couldn’t get the spin controlled until his arms and hands had better control once he had fallen to denser air (based upon viewing the rapid decrease in his terminal velocity shown on his readout).
