and that's just a 6 inch high concrete slab.

I wonder how many are watching for the wondrous scientific thrill of man conquering the skies and how many are watching for the splat...

Hi,
Do you know when or high he will need to be before he jumps? This is like the old Evel Knievel jumps where they would have two hours of hype before his 5 second jump. Thanks for the link!

On edit, I looked it up and he will be at 120K feet, so I think I have time to shower and get ready for a bike ride and he will still be going up.

Peace
