Red Bull Jump : Live Stream Now

Brave bloke :D
|
Very brave, especially as the first step outside the capsule was 23 miles tall!

I posted this in JB
thought you lot might like it
Baumgartner suit absolutely full of urine |
Only lost control of his bladder!? From that height I think I would have lost control of all bodily functions!

From his medical staff:
“Felix’s skill is managing to hold it together for that split second. Otherwise there would have been too much liquid, his chute would not have been able to cope with the extra weight and he would have hit the ground like a 2000 mile-an-hour space-hopper full of piss.” This must surely be a pi55 take :p |
er....it's the Daily Mash.
|
Perhaps a bit too much pre-flight Red Bull me thinks :}
|
No-one ever died from falling/jumping from a great height it's the sudden stop at the bottom that does it apparently.
|
Well, Col Pyotr Dolgov jumped out of a balloon gondola from 93,970 feet in 1962 and died when his suit depressurized. THe sudden stop didn't matter to him.

Question
When Felix Baumgartner made his ascent prior to his ridiculous jump, it took him 2.5 hours… and then 10 minutes to return.
With the earth rotating, how did he start and finish at the same airfield? |
You don't think the air rotates too....?

It's not like he was going to miss was it?

All I know is that when I tried hovering one of HM's finest whistling chicken-legs I'm sure it was the earth revolving that caused all the problems. I'm certain I held the controls perfectly still :E

Objects that detach themselves from Earth's surface do not lose their rotational momentum. |
I don't think this is ever the case. The whole atmosphere spins along with the rest of the planet, other wise you'd have upper winds of over a 1000mph.
