Where did he keep his balls?

I kept wondering how they even fit in the capsule.

Youtube was buffering for me at this clutch point and I missed it. :(

I would love to break his record

I think if you go any higher, you're just gonna float away from Earth.

Thats a risk I am willing to take

Nope. I read in a different thread that the gravity you experience at that altitude is something like a few meters/second less than normal.
To reach a point where Earth's gravity is reduced to one-millionth of that on Earth's surface, one would have to be 6.37 million kilometers [3.73 million miles] away from Earth (almost 17 times farther away than the Moon).

You've got to wonder what was going through his mind at this point.

I can't even imagine what his heart rate must have been on the way down

I get anxiety just looking at this...

Anyone know what the red object at the middle-right of the frame is? Looks like a standard e-stop switch, placed so he can hit it while he is standing on the ledge. Was it an emergency abort switch of some sort?

I believe it was to start the cameras recording, I remember watching it live and in the pre-jump checks they said something about the cameras and he mashed it then they said he was cleared to jump I am pretty sure, he then proceeded to give his few words before he took the leap.
all it takes is a username and password

is it really that easy? only one way to find out...
