This is what it looks like 39 kilometers above the earth.
And this is where he junped off, free falling, reached supersonic speed and landed safely on mother earth.

The common belief during the middle ages was that the world was flat. Those navigators took the same risk; falling off the edge of the world. Without these brave men there would be no George Washington, no Guantanamo Bay and no Monika Lewinsky to talk abite. :D

Still trying to come to terms with him going faster than the speed of sound and his microphone not catching what he was saying because he was travelling beyond Mach I. Amazing!

Say what you like ...
