I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,

thanks for reminder, watching it now, amazing live footage.
Hope he comes down safe. It's guys like this along with Scott, Shackelton, Grisholm, Armstrong, Campbell, Fiennes, Andy Green etc.... that make
the human race what it is.
Godspeed
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Just watching this. How fitting that it is 65 years to the day since chuck yager was the first man to break the sound barrier.

It's working for me now. It was probably due to a high demand for the video feed.

I'm not sure what was going on in the last few minutes before his jump - he could hardly talk and was very uncoordinated. I was wondering
whether he was getting enough oxygen.
I was starting to worry for his safety...
Hell of a thing to watch though!

i think he was getting asked to do something (remove intake and exhaust hoses and vent, or something for example) and while he was doing it, he was
getting asked again to confirm, even though he was still doing it, so couldn't yet confirm he'd done it. therefore, i don't think
kissinger (i can't remember his real name...) was really giving him enough time to do everything, THEN confirm, he was wanting confirmation of
everything on the check list right away. thats how i saw it anyway.
