Just to give everyone an idea of what it'd be like, here's a shot from Joe Kittinger's 1960 jump, which was nearly 30,000 feet lower than what Michele has been attempting:

Were it me making the jump, I think a reserve chute would not be as important as a change of underpants.

Perhaps several changes!

yeah...I would DEFINITELY make some changes.

For instance, if I wanted to break the previous record, i'd add, like, 5 feet. maybe 10. 30,000 is overkill (literally) hahaha :)
