    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

    New inspiration: That guy trained for 5 yrs, much of it to learn how to get out of a spin. He did start to spin, and he landed on his feet. If that isn't dedication, I don't know what is.

    How mad and scary was that, especially when he started spinning!
