You'd die on the way down. Very quickly, so you wouldn't experience much of it.

I didn't click the link. It would just seem you'd die on the way down, especially on impact?

Why would he jump down without a parachute? :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He wouldn't :)

My teacher told me about this, he said this guy was nuts, but brilliant. He had to wait until he hit the atmosphere before you could open his chute, or wouldnt work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He also told us a story about how the glove on one of his suits came off and the pressure in his hand was greater than the pressure outside of it, so his hand blew up like 3x the size it usally is. apparently this guy was awesome ;)

How would he have not burned up when he passed through the atmosphere like a meteor? Pretty interesting though

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meteors have tangent velocities in the kilometers per second. This guy jumped off a balloon, so he basically didnt have any.

Does he have the world record for longest free fall? :|

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cause I know there was this Russian fighter pilot in the 2nd World War that bailed out of his plane and his parachute failed and he went straight down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He survived cause he landed in very deep snow.

Now correct me if Im wrong but wasnt Yuri Gagarin the first man in space and wasnt that in 1961?

This guy was only the first man in the thermosphere. Yuri Gagarin was actually in SPACE.

the russians are the best! Hands down!

no i think this guy was the first person to get into the mesosphere *correct me if im wrong* and he was then in orbit of earth rather then in orbit of the sun. (like the moon)
