October 12, 201213 yr The suit is designed to provide protection from temperatures of +100°F to -90°F. I'm pretty sure that's a typo. It's gotta be +100°C to -90°C at least. I mean, my skin is designed to protect me above 100°F. As for Jeremiah Weed, he's just a troll with no imagination or dream of science. John Atanasoff invented the first digital computer (at Iowa State University I might add) in the 1930s. Since then we've gone to the moon. By Jerry Weed's logic, we shouldn't continue to press the limits and find better ways of doing computing. I bet he likes his smart phone though. Either way, what the hell does it matter to Weed? It's not costing him any money and if the dude makes a 10 foot deep hole in the ground, it's not Weed that dies. Stop feeding the troll.
October 12, 201213 yr On most of these forums, a "troll" is someone posting to create controversy or stir the pot. Not my intent. I profess a non-mainstream point of view and throw in a little sarcasm for fun and the easy route is to throw a label at me. You want differing opinions and frank discussion here or do we need to tow the line? My delivery could have used some improvement, I'll admit. I was having a pretty shitty day. Enough excuses. I apologize for my "trollness".

October 13, 201213 yr I wonder what the surface temp of his suit will be at those speeds...100F doesn't seem very confidence inspiring. No shit, around here 100 degrees is what we like to call a "nice spring day!"
October 14, 201213 yr It's on live now! He's at 23000ft. They say he should be at altitude in about an hour and a half. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
October 14, 201213 yr Or on Discovery Channel Thanks. All the live streams aren't working, I would presume due to traffic.
October 14, 201213 yr He better jump, we've all been sitting here for 2 hours! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
October 14, 201213 yr Looks like someone forgot the "k" in front of the m on the Discovery Channel Broadcast. 115,000 feet does not equal 35.052 meters!
October 14, 201213 yr Well in Europe they do their dots and commas opposite of us when it comes to numbers. You'll see when they show the temperature it'll have a comma for the decimal. I keep seeing that too though. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

I guess my European customers and partners I work with everyday spoil us because they always provide data the way I expect to see it! Edited October 14, 201213 yr by Kenny Powers
October 14, 201213 yr Stupid metric system... Well they just decided that he will jump! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

October 14, 201213 yr Did they say what the big red button is for on the outside platform? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
