Red Bull Strator - freefall from the edge of space

One of the greatest things I've ever graced my eyes with, a moment to cherish that's definite. Amazing man and despite rapidly tumbling half way through, he pulled back. Loved it!

Could have been better if he packed himself some red bull and drink when he landed.

Next up: man will be launched from the moon and land on Earth with a gigantic slingshot.

Hey hey! I was reaaaally high that day too okay? Might have beaten a world record lol.
I was really mad toasted

Cuz he couldn't have broken the sound barrier inside Earth's atmosphere as it would've been impossible to go that fast, so he would've had to break it while he was still in thinner air.

He was not really in space, he was in the O zone layer so he would have not burned up, and actually most Space shuttle crashes were caused by re entry, so I guess reentry would be impossible for an astronaut in his suit.
