I, along with 8 million other people, was glued to my computer watching the ascent, jump, and descent of Felix and his death defying jump from 23 miles up. And it really was death defying. At one point he went into a flat spin and felt himself start to lose consciousness. Had that happened, he would have been entirely at the mercy of gravity and his safety shoot auto deploying.
He was able to recover, however, and he managed to set a few records in the process.
Below is the highlights video if you missed it.
