Just watched it. 2 1/2 hrs to ascend and 5 minutes to land again, after stepping off the capsule. They estimate he fell at a top speed of well over 700mph

And then to land on his feet!

That was unbelievable...

Nahh, couldn't go into space. The helium balloon can only take it up so far, then it levels out. The team had estimated it's max height to be 120,00, but it went on for another 7000 ft before levelling off.

i will type really slowlr for clarity. enyam with the greatest of respect, are you tipsy?

What are you getting at? I truly believe this guy is very brave...i have jumped out of planes, but wouldnt do a bungey jump. But i might have done the felix thing with the right training. But the unknown is will you die?
