Fucking wow. I swear my heart almost stopped when he was jumping off that thing at 128,000 feet :eek:

He's alive, returned to ground beautifully.

World records for :

Fastest freefall in history
Highest freefall in history
Highest altitude with a balloon carrying a person in history
Sound barrier BROKEN

I think Joe Kittenger remains the record holder for the longest freefall in history, Felix's freefall wasn't quite as long, but both within the 4 + minute range!

Fucking madness! But he's alive! How incredible it was to watch that!

I have not slept, its 4.26am, time to go workout methinks lol

Well done Felix! (As he stood up on the step, he saluted & said 'I'm coming home' & just stepped off:eek:)

I didn't breathe for the longest time! Amazing moment!

Goodmorning folks! :p

Wow, he did it!
Couple of hairy moments, his visor was icing up and then the spin\tumble that he managed to control.
He is one cool cucumber!
 
Cool cucumber alright! Thanks Jaz! Oh yes I remember watching the speed going fckn nutso now. Farrrrkkkkk I need to sleep! lol

Amazing. History gentlemen. I lost a night of sleep for history & one very brave motherfucker lol

P.S. the viser (vicer) whatever, the issues with the thing over his face were freaking me the hell out. lol
 
wanted to watch it but had to resort to the news coverage this morning
what a mad bastard, what was the first thing that he thought when he cracked that door open and looked outside

crazy to see the curve of the earth like that
