Spacedive is a Go

[HarrisonTX]

Man, he was tumbling very bad for a bit. Really pretty scary... and then he just straightened out.

I'm glad Joe K gets to keep a record. I'm sure he thought "HA! didn't break my freefall record bitch"

[Redd]

Super fucking cool. Makes me wish I was alive in the 60s to see all the crazy record breaking shit they were doing with flying and space.

Just talking to my dad about this and the original space jump

Highest jump but no the fastest... still badass and bigger balls than many

Yes, it's the fastest. It isn't the longest time in free fall, though.

Indeed.

I'll toast up a redbull today to continue to fund these missions.

[2011GT]

I wonder when we will know if he broke the speed of sound.

[bunkered13]

I drank a Redbull while watching. Any company that sponsors stuff like this gets my vote.

[CJ-95GT]

Very cool, but I wish everybody would have kept quite during the jump. Kind of reminded me of watching Knievel as a kid.

[tribaltalon]

I think he would have gotten mach 1 if he wouldnt have started the tumbling bit. it was definitely tense for a few seconds until he self stabilized.

He hit mach 1.24, they're doing a press conference on it right now. 833.9mph.

[Sleeper]

I belt he felt sick as shit after all that spinning until he got control.
