    I watched him from about 117000 feet up through the end of the jump. That man sure has guts! I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch the actual jump since things could've went wrong, but nothing did. It was a perfect jump. Bravo to Felix Baumgartner!!

    I'm suprised they could find enough helium to lift his giant balls of steel into stratosphere

    We just watched it. Felix Baumgartner is amazing. Apparently, the jump was co-sponsored by a research grant that's hopefully going to help make flight suits and whatnot, worlds better. Yay, science!

    We were worried about him spinning and flailing for a bit there and were glad he finally stabilized. Too bad his visor fogged. Had it not, I'm sure he would've broken the free-fall record. Still, it was a nice jump and the "highlights" that they showed afterwards were AMAZING.

    Breathtaking and mind boggling at the same time.

    Wow. Just wow. :)

    Yeah that was pretty cool to see - his landing was flawless too! If it were me, I'm sure I would have tumbled over and made a fool of myself on live tv haha
