3 records out of 4 attempted, very nice.
Freefall jump: 128100 ft (24.26 miles) Highest manned baloon flight: just shy of 25 miles (132000 ft) Freefall speed record: 833.9MPH (Mach 1.24) Not beaten: Longest freefall: 4:20 min (compared to 4:36 minutes). Nicely done, a little part of history has been written !

Was watching with my wife and 2 girls.
I do have to admit than when the sas opened, I was a little shaky.  I'm after all affraid of height. And with the view, I felt right up there. But, incredible accomplisment !

Insane... amazing... frightening... awesome... unbelievable...
My knees get weak looking down from the top of a tall ladder. That photo of him looking down from the capsule and then the other one where he has just jumped make me want to pass out. Does anyone know what happened to the capsule? Were they able to bring it back down to earth or is it not floating in the statosphere?

That had to be one HECK of a rush! I could only imagine the feeling of standing on the edge of that platform overlooking the curvature of the earth.
