I started watching after he'd already been falling for about 3:30. It's too bad they did not communicate with him better re: free fall time record. All he had to do was go another 15 seconds and he could have had that record, too.

Congrats to Mr. Baumgartner. The most expensive freefall ever. Also the next extreme sport for bored millionaires. 8)
