Thats pretty funny.

I can see my house from here! That is what he last said before the jump

lol :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

I think he could see MY house from there.

Well... technically outer space starts at 100 km, so the jump did not have anything to do with space.

But still cool :)

Reminds me of that awkward moment when a girl catches you looking at her butt and screams that she'll call the police (if you don't get out of her closet)... :helpme

hahaha :)

steel balls to jump from 39km :D

I read that this cost several million dollars to setup and do, something like an estimated $20mm+

At the same time, if the gov't did this, it would have cost almost a BILLION dollars.

Whether that's true or not, I'm sure its a pretty close ratio of realistic to gov't spending :2 cents:

it was 50 million usd but considering the effect the cheapest Red Bull marketing campaign ever

money well spent

sure because a lot was sponsored by companies

he doesn't look very high from that angle.

Pot, meet Kettle :thumbsup

Base jumping on Everest

There was a talk at sxsw about how red bull make more from these events than from selling drinks.

For some reason I was more interested in the Solar Farms I could see on the desert.

LOL, nice one! :D

He could have spared us the commonplace comment ...

He's a total hero for sure. BTW, my nation does not have a space program. :thumbsup

Anyone can argue that Red Bull did this for self-interest, and it's totally true (everyone does it), but I think it's really totally cool that they did do this. Really remarkable feat. I would love to see more companies get involved with pushing science to its limits.

His jump was Amazing!!!
The guy that still holds the free fall record with the toolbox taped to his ass and a swollen right hand due to duct tape failure in his "pressure suit" still gets my vote for the Bad Ass of the Century!!! award...

rotflmao! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Cat pancakes - sets new freefall record!

You deserve a reach a round for that. LMAO
