This was cool but it would have been even cooler if Keanu Reeves had followed him out the door without a chute.

Epic typo....

wow quite the typo! here are some preliminary numbers.

Altitude: 128,097 ft
Duration of freefall: 4:19
Total jump time: 9:03
Speed: 1137 kmh (Mach 1.24) 833 mph

Very impressive. I am shocked he hit those speeds, given the drag from his gigantic balls .

I was surprised he didn't go for the free fall record, only 12 more seconds and he would have had it. The record was set in 1960 too, that's some balls!

I was sort of wondering if he didnt do that out of respect for kittenger cuz your right, 1960 - HUGE BALLS. i also thought it was pretty cool how they had kittenger involved with the whole thing.

I thought he pulled the chute early because his visor was fogged up.

He stated in an interview later that he didn't break the free fall record in respect for his mentor, Joe Kittinger. I think it's some sort of greatness we could also need from time to time....
