Broithe Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I watched this all the way through live yesterday. Always been impressed by Joe Kittinger and it was good to see him so involved in the effort to break his own 52 year-old record - and nice that his record for the longest free-fall time still seems to be standing, too.
