Re: Red Bull Stratos - Nutter jumps from edge of Space
His landing was ultra cool, just like in the cartoons, just stepped off all cool

Re: Red Bull Stratos - Nutter jumps from edge of Space
Just found this lot on twitter - I don't care whether it's official or fake, but I'm laughing my ass off at https://twitter.com/FeIixBaumgartnr
Edit: Just noticed the I instead of L in felix, so it's almost certainly fake... Last edited by orose; 14-10-12 at 07:04 PM. Reason: Added new info |

Re: Red Bull Stratos - Nutter jumps from edge of Space
Overcame a misted visor and a near fatal spin on the way down - no wonder he was cautious and opened a bit early. Fantastic achievement and a good load of science data on what speed and altitude do to the body.

Re: Red Bull Stratos - Nutter jumps from edge of Space
I must admit to thinking he was toast when he went into the spin!
I couldn't help wondering if he stopped the freefall early to leavie Kittinger with at least one record

Re: Red Bull Stratos - Nutter jumps from edge of Space
It was fantastic watching it, defo need to be wired up differently to do that! I was a bit puzzled about not breaking the freefall record but I heard earlier that when Kissinger jumped he had some kind of small chute attached from jumping so his speed was always alot lower than on this jump.
*Edit - Just looked it up he used a drogue chute for stability and therefore a slower descent speed. Last edited by dirtyred619; 15-10-12 at 02:14 PM. |
