October 17, 201213 yr Excuse me, did I hear physics? I believe the whole "how high, how far you can see" is more trigonometry than physics. Cheers, Cap-10

October 20, 201213 yr At ~130,000ft or 24.6 miles, he'd be able to see approximately 430 miles. The closest body of water to Roswell is the Sea of Cortez, slightly over 500 miles. So no....no water. Maths. Try 502.487...

October 20, 201213 yr If his chute doesn't open, maybe he'll land somewhere close to where Steve Fossett crashed. While you may not be overly impressed with Steve Fossett like I am, your lack of class and disrespect toward someone who gave a ton to aviation,... and was a great guy at the same time,... is disappointing.

October 20, 201213 yr Well done Felix... someone should notify masshole. Andrea Mitchell Reports some serious bullshit.
October 20, 201213 yr Apparently the record didn't stand for long. https://www.duffelblo...already-broken/ “We got on the radio and tried to talk him down,” said Rod Dowley, Red Bull Vice President of Marketing. ”He responded, but it was garbled–something about how you can’t keep brass balls on the ground, and to tell Yeager to suck it.” Once he reached a height of 40,500 meters, Kittinger opened the capsule door, gave a one fingered salute and jumped. The octogenarian’s body streaked through the atmosphere at 912 miles (1448 km) per hour, allowing him to reclaim the records for highest skydive, highest balloon ascent, and fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere. I guess Kittinger and Yeager have quite a history. Edited October 20, 201213 yr by pawnman
