i have heard his name before. i wonder why he didn't become one of the first group of astronauts that were written about in The Right Stuff.

i gotta watch that movie again - i forget now why Chuck Yaeger never got to go on a space mission.

I forgot, it took 3 hours to get up there !
His pressure suit feld and his hand like grew twice the size !

fuck me that's high up there... what if he jumped off that thing and started floating up? LOL that'd be fucked.

Imagine if you got into some sort of horrible spin part way down. At terminal velocity it would take something like an hour to descend to the ground.

Hang on, 988km/hr? How could he fall that fast? If he was travelling at that speed then he'd complete the fall in just over 2 mins...
