PromoTheRobot Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 This may have started as a publicity stunt but they may have proven than an astronaut could jump to earth from space in an emergency. Truly amazing. Anyone notice they stopped the feed in the middle? There was a point where he was close to spinning out if control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 dude just parachuted 24 miles and the biggest thrill for me were 2 chicks kissing..... what a feat though...holy crap Worth the time too watch this jump. I thought he said a couple minutes in freefall "I'm fighting to stay conscious" No kidding! Sometime the internet tubes can produce some very cool things! Excellent coverage.

Wacka Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Turned it on about 5 minutes before he opened the hatch. The man who was CapCom is Joseph Kittinger, whose records Bumgartner broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
