After such great views inside the capsule and of him climbing out and standing on the edge just before the jump....the jump itself was dull/anti-climatic. Could really have used a helmet cam.

I'm pretty sure he starts giving the camera a thumb-up when he's around 6000 ft. Badass.

That was an estimate--they won't know his actual speed until they download the data from his suit.Also. I believe the speed of sound changes with altitude.

Ok, at 29,000 meters the speed of sound is 673mph. I guess he did do it.

this was badass
watching him open the door, slide out, stand up and then just walk off like he was going down his front steps to get the groceries

Top speed of 833mph or mach 1.24.
Record height of 128,097 feet, over 24 miles.
Total freefall time of 4 minutes, 19 seconds.
It's official. Felix Baumgartner has broken the previous free fall record set by Obama.

He has cameras on his chest pack but the footage is not posted online yet. He was in trouble when he got into the death spin but fought hard to regained control.

I think Felix did not break the time record because he was falling much faster.

If anyone thinks they could do what he did they are delusional. Not sure if there are many that thought "anyone could do this".That was the point it went from "anyone could do this" to "Whoa!".He has cameras on his chest pack but the footage is not posted online yet.

Seems like it was because he pulled the chute way earlier than he needed to - he's a wuss.

Kittinger used a small "drogue" parachute to get out of the flat spin when he set his old record. Felix had one too just as a precaution but if he used it, he would not reach supersonic speed.

i believe they said there were 27 total cameras on the capsule and his suit. Willing to bet the POV video will be showing up soon as a Red Bull commercial. Which is why all the live feed had was the infrared remote view. Though it was still'Rohn Jambo said:He has cameras on his chest pack but the footage is not posted online yet.

It's amazing how he got out of the flat spin. Maybe he should be tested for Red Bull.i believe they said there were 27 total cameras on the capsule and his suit.

There have been a few "meh" replies. I think some people thought "If I had enough money, I could fall out of a capsule". Kind of like getting to the top of Everest is becoming more about money.See him come out of the spin was the reason that no, not anyone could do it.

mission control did not seem at all concerned when he was going head over heels like that. i thought he was a dead man. how the #### does one not pass out there?did this get talked about in the post-landing presser?

New one to me, now enjoying listening to their stuff.

Best part was the steps it took to get him out of that thing. There were around 40. My favorite being disconnecting the oxygen. That took the longest. Mission control was being so persuasive and calm...but it definitely gave him pause.
The salute was pretty cool too.
Amazing.

Where does Nik Wallenda and his tightrope walk over Niagara Falls rank in comparison?

Without Saftey harness obviously above David Blaine, with harness below. I'd rank them somewhere between motorcycle wheelie and pogo stick jump

For some reason, he doesn't look like he got any closer to the ground in that video. For the first 30 seconds I was waiting for him to jump.
