Broithe Posted October 15, 2012 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.
Weshty Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 The thing is, after falling from 35 miles and hitting 1000kpm....what do you do for a rush the next time? Total respect for this guy. Astonishing bravery.
heirflick Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 The thing is, after falling from 35 miles and hitting 1000kpm....what do you do for a rush the next time? build a model railway?...that would slow him down a bit!
Broithe Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Mmm, I wonder if Joe's planning another go..?
irishrail123 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 One crazy man, fair play to him! Have to say i got a fright when he started to spin quite fast! Kinda though that this was it for him.... but then he got the control back! What a view
BabyGM Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I wouldn't do that if you paid me a thousand 071's

Garfield Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 The question I want answered is... ...did he see his house from up there!?
burnthebox Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Well they say the Sky's the limit, absolutely astonishing, what a HIGH, literally, and for his next trick,

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Posted November 5, 2012 I wonder if the insurance cover was adequate! 20 packs of Red Bull and 200 air miles
