    Note to self: Don't ever cross the "Armstrong Line" without a pressurized suit.

    And this isn't even half of the shit they do. And now this..

    The profit margin on Red Bull is astronomical.

    So there's a possibility he will freeze to death or either boil to death once he jumps. God I hope not.

    Haha, all respect to Felix but Kittinger was so freaking bad ass.

    The guy did this 52 years ago with crappy technology and he was only 5 km under where Felix is going to jump from.

    Look at Kittinger's jump;

    And look at Kittinger's technology;

    Heat is still an issue. Getting hairy up there. I want to say we haven't heard from mission control for about 45 mins and I think there's a significant tape delay going on from what I heard.

    This only makes me wonder how the hell Kittinger and his crew could have done this 52 years ago, seriously..

    And yeah, Felix seem to have some major issues up there..
