    Yeah, he did look like he was pretty much out of control for a while, had to make him extremely dizzy to say the least.

    Awesome to watch..The press conference is supposed to be soon. So we'll see how close he got to the sound barrier and the free fall record.

    My theory on that one is that the last time the jump was made, it was from a lower altitude and therefore more air resistance, so even though it was lower altitude, it took longer because he was going slower in thicker air....Felix hit 730 ( ?) mph I believe, and covered some ungodly amount of distance in a short period of time. I don't believe he'll be able to free fall longer than the last guy, but he still may be able to break the sound barrier...

    Also he broke three records I believe, so maybe he thought that was enough and didn't want to break ALL of the records the guy before him had. Maybe being generous? :confused:

    Balloon probably was slowly deflated and then the capsule fell back to earth with its own chute
