Yawn. He did it “in secret”.

At least Felix Baumgartner had the balls risk public failure and catastrophe.

And Joe Kittinger had the balls to do it first, with a leaking suit and swelling, freezing hand. Then he shot down a MiG-21 and also was a POW. That old story.

Not an intentional omission on my part.

I just didn’t like how some lib sites were poo-pooing Baumgartner’s jump.
