Wow, is he really free falling from 120,000 feet, with no mini-chute or anything? If so, it will be interesting to see what kind of speeds he gets in the first 70-80k of free fall. Not much atmosphere that far up to slow a person down. Not sure what terminal velocity at 100,000 feet is, but I hope we find out!

He is supposed to be over 650 MPH within the first 40 seconds and may break the sould barrier. Won't deploy the shute until around 5 minutes into the jump - provided he can deploy it. Nuts

I think the issue with the heat (lack of) on the face shield is a problem. Once he opens the capsule how is he going to see anything but frost on the shield??? We will see soon.....
