racefan Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 That was THE BEST TV I've watched in years. I was riveted to the TV. I've gone skydiving before but I could not even imagine the guts it would take to stand on that little platform & jump form 24 miles up! not even to mention hitting 833.9 mph & breaking the sound barrier! The extra cool thing was the older gentleman that was his mission control officer was the guy who's record Baumgartner broke. Col Joe Kittnger, a real hero. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kittinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
