My father used to work for Joe Kittenger, the guy that jumped from almost as high back in the 60's. Dad actually liked Kittenger which is saying something, he hated everyone he ever had to work for.

Livin it up in the O.C.
Once he hits the sound barrier he will start to violently shake due to pockets of air that are sub-speed of sound and other pockets that are over. He will get shaken harder than a red-headed... Well, you know what I'm saying. No Bueno.

He will be unconscious... Didn't read the article, but does his chute deploy automatically? It better!!

Well that is half the point is it not? I would love to do something like this..... Well if it was affordable to actually do commercially..... Hell I would settle for a Halo jump.....

Adrenaline... Its a hell of a drug
Yeah because that Felix guy was just someone they pulled off the street. -BB- can be your Director of Science.

Never said I would ever be able to do this... I said if I could I probably would...... I know its not just any joe off the street

I absolutely understand the ebst I could ever hope to be allowed to do would be a Halo jump... even that I will probably never be allowed to do...
