Crazy?

[BLrdFX]

I am really glad to have been alive to see this happen. I am old enough to have seen Chuck Yeager break the barrier in a plane and now a guy in a space suit! Now how cool is that!

When I was a youngster I saw Sputnik cruising across the heavens but I never thought there might be a man gliding through space and landing on earth!

[TC]

Wasn't that first minute amazing?!

Incredible guts not to pop that first stabilisation chute. He was looking pretty out of control. Isn't it great to see a bit 'o history?

[Andy]

My turn next?

Get in the queue Pavoniboy!


This shot nailed it for me... wow.

[Pavoniboy]

Absolutely amazing!
My turn next?

[TC]

And he makes it!

Java "One hell of a first step!" phile

Sleep deprived...but it was worth getting up for.

And he makes it!

Tonight at 11 AEDT.

Will he....won't he....

[BLrdFX]

This puts a whole new dimension to the term "God Shot"!! I wonder if he will wave as he goes by on the way down?? The air space must be cleared of and foreign objects, like a stray SR-71!

[Andy]

Anyone care to have a crack?

WOW, what a rush that would be.
I would do it... drop of a hat.

Cracking Mach1 in a suit is a pretty close to Chuck Yeager's effort where they had a "fair idea it was ok" but still enough doubt to make it a coin toss.

Good luck Felix!

They're now talking about 6:00 AM MDT on Sunday

[TC]

They're now talking up the idea of 11pm AEDT Sunday.

Gotta admit the view will be good....if he lives to remember it!

[Yelta]

Certainly is.

More money than cents...’

???

Isn't the phrase .." more money than SENSE " ?

[sando]

I reckon he is a guaranteed customer for one of those $10K coffee machines.

More money than cents...

Or is it just another ‘advert’ masquerading as ‘News’

[phrostyboi]

stuff that for a joke. I feel weird enough going up in a plane, let alone jumping out of a balloon from that high up

it's a weird sensation of 'i'm really not meant to be up this high but I am'
