Jimbob Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Wow, that was incredible. Had the stream going and all that. Congrats to all, and a new world record.
MoogleViper Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Missed out on the longest freefall by 14 seconds because he pulled his chute too early.
Retro_Link Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Absolutely Incredible!! The moment where he had to commit to pulling the oxygen pipes and stepping out on to the ledge! WOW!! Congratulations to Felix Baumgartner and the Red Bull Stratos Team for making history today! Higest Jump, Fastest Freefall, Higest Manned Balloon Flight! "I'm Going Home Now..."

Retro_Link Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 Incredible! Mark Gallagher @MarkGallagher62 So #felixbaumgartner fell at 833.9mph, 70mph faster than World Land Speed Record of 763.035mph set in Andy Green's jet powered ThrustSSC
dwarf Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Indeed, although I swear I saw a better one that only loops after he's fully out of shot. Argh! It's scary how long that body position is sustained, very reminiscent of 2001. For obvious reasons. Edited October 14, 2012 by dwarf
