Where's breakwall he loves this shit.

This sounds like a very bad idea. Very bad.

At least if something goes wrong you've got about 20 minutes to put your affairs in order.

The article said that his blood could literally boil. At the present moment, I can't think of anything more disturbing.

ETA: Okay, his blood would boil if exposed directly to the air. So he probably shouldn't shave mid-jump.

The beginning of article leads you to believe it's the temperature that would cause his blood to boil and not the low pressure at 121k feet.

I really hope that test chamber wasn't faulty.

Ah. For some reason, I've had to reread this article 3 times.

They have a good one at Edwards AFB.

At least Colonel Kittenger, the current altitude, speed and duration record holder, is advising Baumgartner, so he has that going for him, but there is a lot to this and it's dangerous as hell.
