Hello folks!  You may have heard about Felix Baumgartner, who broke all records with his incredible skydive from the edge of space. You can watch his descent in this video, if you dare!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAeB4K8yDT0Richard  |

Hello Richard! I watched it live on Youtube, along with about 6 million others! It was very interesting - and at one point was even more scary than when he jumped off the step, when he suddenly went into a fast head-over-heels spin and nobody knew what was going to happen next! You can clearly see that on the video.  Cheers, Dave |

Well Paul it can't have exceeded 32ft/sec/sec. Unless he had an engine!

What a ride - except he wasn't riding anything. I can't imagine what that felt like.
