As an ex-jumper myself that still brought the hair up on the back of my neck. I found it amazing that the temp actually was rising once he passed 70K. Very gutsy endeavor indeed. Too bad he didn't hold off a little longer and get the time in freefall record as well. He could have tacked on another 20-30 seconds based on his opening altitude ......... but seconds last a long time in freefall. This should make for a great special on the Discovery Channel. I remember the last guy that tried it (on a shoestring budget) back in 1965. He died on his third attempt.
