            Welp, Mister Kittinger's highest manned balloon flight record has just been usurped.

            Gonna be a long fall back to Roswell. Hope this guy packed some tunes.

                It's a long fall but at over 614 MPH it went fast!

                  ~730mph, looks like.

                  Can't make out what he's saying right now mid-fall but the first words that came through sounded like "hey guys"

                      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                          24 1/2 miles! There was a scary moment when Felix started tumbling wildly. He can't release the chute when he's flailing. I thought it was all over, then he managed to stabilize. It was miraculous. =^..^=

                            What an incredible event! I don't like being 24.5 feet off the ground, much less 24.5 MILES. But what a view he had!!

                            Going up in the first place was gutsy, jumping off was flat-out ridiculous! Props to Mr. Felix!
