ReconRat Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Jumped in secret. 135,890 feet. Broke Baumgartner's record of 128,100 feet. Also supersonic with boom. Used a "shuttlecock" tail to stabilize. No capsule, the balloon was hooked to the spacesuit. Awesome. http://www.wired.com/2014/10/googles-search-czar-just-smashed-felix-baumgartners-sky-dive-record/ No videos yet. Not much for pictures either. http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/skydive-660x495.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Ok, a different website says he stabilized with a small drogue chute. He loitered up there at max for 30 minutes to enjoy the view.
