    last thing i heard from mission control was that his face plate heater was inop.

    hopefully the knob is just backwards and he can still jump!

    I knew that it happens, but it's interesting to actually see the balloon expand as it rises.

    Me and my buds watched it, it is def insane!
    The minute he leaped from the capsule I felt my own stomach go into my throat!

    I'll jump out of a plane at a reasonable height, but that guy def has some huge cojenes!

    Avy,

    what's the difference between jumping out of a plane and where he was? if the parachute doesn't deploy you're gonna be flat one way or another regardless of what height you jump out of.

    that's one thing I can't do. way to scared of heights.. haha

    The difference,
    Its a shorter trip lol!
    And there is more factors involved there then with a plane jump.
    Suit failure to be one.

    I am alright with heights but that was just an insane view

    So question:

    If redbull offered to you a chance to jump out of a balloon from 128,000ft, including all necessary training for free, would you do it?

    Oooo, Though question there Steve!

    I think if there was a lot of training and I mean like you go through the steps in your sleep kinda of training maybe.

    To be on the edge of the world like that would probably just give me a heart attack before the jump but it would be epic.

    What about you Steve would you?
