RE: Today in History: First "space jump" completed

in #history6 years ago

The guy that just recently did it is the first thing I thought of when I saw this post. I didn't realize he was that much higher than this one. Thanks for giving those distances. All of that is definitely a pass for me. It has to be a thrill being able to look down into thin air and see the curvature of the Earth.

Sort:  

very thin air. In the video he explains about how after he jumped he had to turn around to look at the balloon because there was no sensation of movement due to the near complete lack of atmosphere.
