I watched almost all of it including the preparation considering I think that it's a great testament to the capability of the human race.

So who else watched it?

Here it is if you didn't see it:

I watched it live, not every day you get to see a human body pass mach one with nothing but a pressurized flight suit.

Caught the last few minutes. Totally epic. That guy has BAWLZ!

Next time lets send him up in a Squirrel Suit

It was a heck of a jump but I think if I was him I'd have words with whoever was giving the wrong wind directions during the decent.

I'd be happy with landing on solid ground

I think that makes him a Terminator now.

He scattered 45 miles

"Dang, now my Terminators are somewhere in the central valley"

At least he didn't have to roll on the mishap table.

I think I finally figured out what he said before jumping. I believe it was,

"You have to nuke the thing from orbit, just to be sure."
