I was just talking about this with some of my coworkers. Apparently the guy is going to free fall for 6 minutes, breaking the old record of 5.5 minutes.

Fucking winds, how do they work?
We'll see if they can do this tomorrow, although the announcement seems pretty pessimistic.

Amazing. Such a badass. Like all the other guys and girls that went up there.

it was especially crazy when he was tumbling like hell, like, several seconds after he left the capsule, because there's so little air resistance up there. good thing he know's what the hell he's doing. overall, this guy's the man.
