When he went into a flat spin, it was driving me nuts, but you could hear him breathing in a controlled manner. Thats all that I needed to hear!

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

If I wasn't busy doing yard work I would have beaten him to it. [laugh]

I wonder if Red Bull or him will ever publicly say how much this stunt cost? Wonder who made the suit, capsule, balloon, etc.? Pretty damn amazing no matter how much it cost! [thumbsup] [bow_down] Who thinks up stunts like this? ???
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

the guy has balls of steel.  I would have shit myself when I stepped out of the capsule.  Kudos to him for achieving such a milestone.

What is it then?

A scientific experiment?  [roll]

If it was NASA Stratos I'd agree.

I'm jaded...you all know that.

I can't buy that it was anything other than advertising because of the Red Bull involvement.

I'll leave now.

I am pretty sure there were folks in the control room from NASA.
