Re: witnessing something epic on discovery channel

I saw it as well! He fell from space! O_O I'd be way too scared to even jump from Earth. It's incredible, it's creepy and it's so scary! He was in free fall for like 4 minutes and he couldn't see anything because it fogged up in his suit. D:

Oh yeah, I heard about that in the news. It's really awesome, I think. Wonder if anyone will ever attempt to beat the record.

How much further into space can we go before gravity isn't there?

Re: witnessing something epic on discovery channel

Ehhhh...

I was at Five Guys Burgers and Fries when it happened. Totally worth missing it for.  tongue  But yeah, that's really cool! I've just wondered.. even with all that equipment.. how does the human body handle such speed and force?

Re: witnessing something epic on discovery channel

I didn't see it.

But, of course, it'll be impossible to beat that record.  tongue  Like that submarine dive to the bottom of Mariana Trench cannot be beaten because there is no deeper place in the ocean xD

I read about him in the newspaper, pretty cool feat. I think he was Austrian too.
