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.

Did he loose control for a while ? Looked like he was spinning for quite a while ....?

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

Good one Mike.

my pampers would be full if I did that jump.

I know a few surfers that would do that if they had the money....it's probably a good thing they don't have the money......
