What a badass!
My guess is that he pulled it because his visor was fogging up and he might not have been able to see his altimeter.
[QUOTE=pauk]Its because he flied down faster, he almost doubled Kittingers speed with like 1100-1200 km/h[/QUOTE]
No, he didn't double Kittinger's speed, Kittinger came up to 988 km/h..
And Kittinger did it 52 years ago, just compare the technology;

Those giant balls of steel definitely helped him with that speed record.
The falling down part we pretty underwhelming, I thought we'd get live feed from this helmet cam or something. Still:bowdown:
