Record Skydive attempt
If you haven't heard, this dude is planning on skydiving from 120k feet up to try to break the sound barrier. It was scheduled for today but wind gusts forced them to abort for the day. They are going to try again tomorrow. You can watch it live here http://www.redbullstratos.com/live/

I was streaming the coverage for a little while today. That guy's freakin' nuts.
You ever see a picture of when a jet breaks the sound barrier? I assume if he reaches his goal, that's gonna happen to him too. How awesome of a poster would that be?

The theory is that because the atmosphere will be so thin when he breaks mach 1, there won't be much of a shockwave at all. For the sake of awesome posters, I hope that theory is wrong.

You guys are mean. Poor lunatic.
What happens if he jumps out, and then just floats into orbit? That's gotta be a shit-the-spacesuit moment...

I saw something similar on a movie once. If you burp, you'll start to descend.

Also a great poster opportunity.
