He should of had an Eroids patch on his suit! Reason why he must of been fucking nuts or loaded up with some serious hormones > Only the good ones sourced here!

was already done in the 70's or 80s a guy went into the edges of space in a baloon and jumped out to test heat resistance and friction of a space suit and went over the speed of sound.

1959 I watch the history channel a lot

watching it right now...this is sweet.

manbearpig's picture

ok guys when he jumps he will be moving fastest a few seconds aftter the jump due to less resistance in the air at that altitude.

ac89's picture

There shouldnt be one. There won't be any air resistance to make one

homebrewed's picture

Not true at all..A round fired from a rifle is a prime example. A bullet with a really high B.C. has almost zero resistance. And a pretty loud sonic crack at that. Human body has a shit load of resistance. Felix wouldn't hear the barrier being broken..It would just go 100% silent.

he should have brought protein with him

morph's picture

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw it.

tennessee21's picture

Haha. I think I saw him drinking some vodka just a second ago thru a straw.

glad you posted. I was watching about an hour ago then changed channels and forgot.
