He named it the Stratos mission after his spiritual home:

Yes, that was a bugger for everybody that flew on Concorde too...

Silly! They were all travelling at the same speed.

And he was travelling at the same speed as his microphone...
So, travelling faster than the speed of sound has nothing to do with it....

When did he actually travel faster than the speed of sound, as it is not a constant and depends on air density and temperature?
690mph is considered to be the speed of sound at sea level, I am sure he wasn't going that fast then!

You mean "no friction" from air resistance to affect his speed, right? Because as far as the sound is concerned, he wasn't in a vacuum because he had a helmet on for oxygen!
Anyway, the suit he was wearing must have been slightly permeable or become damaged because his visor fogged up and he couldn't see the instruments. Even though the instruments would have been in front of the visor?

The visor would have been very cold, so the water vapour in his breath would have condensed when it touched it.
