Clucking bell!
Did he pull the parachute before breaking the freefall record?
"I need directions"
You're not wrong! 🙂
deployed at 4.19 - thought record was 4.36 for freefall record.
not [u]that[/u] is reality TV
yeah, I don't think he got the freefall record...
Ein toller Leistung, Felix.
Haha, they can get the bloke to 128,000 ft but can't read a windsock.....
impressive landing
Balls. Of. Steel.
BALLS-OF-STEEL
Excellent. Thank you Felix.
wtf, thought that was the swat team approaching with a pistol when he landed, but it's just a camera 😀
So, just waiting to see if he got to the speed of sound.
Fingers crossed.
That was actually worth two and half hours of my life to watch 🙂
Christ that was good.
Standing there with the door open before the jump was EPIC!
Meh
irony if the capsule lands on him and kills him to death 😉
If the capsule drops on the helicopter does he have to walk back to Roswell?
That wasn't flying, that was falling with style!!!

Cajones of titanium, chapeau Mr Bumgardener
Yep, that's a ride he'll never forget. Must be amazing to be so high above the planet. I'd love to do that (The high bit, not the jumping out bit 🙂 )
Nuts.
Just got home and missed it. Is there a video anywhere?
That was fantastic. Super happy with that and for him, now to ride my bike. 🙂
Amazing to watch. Well worth sitting in front of my laptop for 2.5 hours.

That is one of the best things i've seen in my life.
woweeeeeeee!
I did read somewhere there'll be a BBC and a National Geo documentary very soon afterwards and they're bound to stick it straight up on youtube.
Genuinely hoped he'd do the worm after he landed. I am disappoint.
😯
just... 😯
amazing!
although I did expect to see some kind of re-entry plasma-type glow, or at least a sonic wave boom.
That's just stunning.
the guy is a total legend, I love the 'I'm going home' line.

I was banking on the gangnam style dance.

+1
Mine even did the 'fine for the 2.45 hr preamble, crash as soon as checklist starts' to make it more tense. Got it back up though!
8,000,000 people watching on youtube during the jump.
Fantastic.
That was awesome
Landed it like a boss too
That fella's got some seriously pendulous cojones.. 😯
My feed decided to crash during freefall.
Nice one youtube :/
Unreal. I feared the worst when he got into that spin. I had my nephew watching it with me and nearly turned the ipad off. Judging by the cheer from mission control when he got stable, I wasn't the only one!
freefall at amazing speed, so Redbull doesn't give you wings afterall!

I thought something had gone wrong when they suddenly cut away from him spinning to mission control.

Watched on BBC news and youtube as they showed different shots though their was a couple second delay between the two.

I think they thought it had.

that's when the pre-recorded CGI footage kicked in..
