    About another hour before they reach jump height, unless they drop some ballast and increase his climb rate.

    FASTER DAMIT! :cool:
    Gonna take him all damn day at this rate. They are saying he is ascending too slow...drop all your ballast and go!!

    So he plans on going supersonic (768mph) thats pretty damn fast. Only possible if the air is EXTREMELY thin (altitude), and your shaped like a damn arrow.

    Curious how he is going to get to that speed..

    Oh and BTW its not 13 miles, its 21 +/- miles!!! Edit: saw the corrected height in the 1st post...

    They just said on the live feed, that he would break the sound barrier shortly after jumping some thirty seconds after leaving the capitule

    Watching it right now! This dude is nuts! Did they ever talk about what the effects might be on his body once he takes on the cone?
