[@asquare9316]

Back in 1959, Joe Kittinger, a member of the USAF, went up to 102,800 feet above the Earth in a balloon and then parachuted back to Earth. What was so amazing about this is that he was the first person to see the curvature of the Earth and he was testing to see if space suits would work. Background: above 65,000 feet or so, the atmosphere is so thin that one has to wear a pressure suit to remain alive. No one knew if the pressure suits that had been designed and made for astronauts would work, so Joe Kittinger was the person that tested them. He then was a consultant for Felix Baumgartner and actually had to talk Felix through his space jump as Felix was freaking out at one point on the way up and almost tore his helmet off. This "stunt" by Blaine was extremely boring and did nothing except prove for the over one millionth time that objects less dense than air will rise.

Seems like it'd be way easier to set the rigging up to the balloon by using the chute, with no need for all that weird unnecessary stuff that could quite easily end in disaster. I just can't for the life of me understand why they thought that was the best available option.

[@jasonberning1086]

It’s because they were going for a certain look of him being floated by the balloons with no parachute.

The way he acted like his experience and decisions were superior to the professionals on the ground handling his lousy ass really put it all over the top.

[@christiannordin232]

Yes, of course he must be stuck with something. But I wonder if they made the claim that it would be like David did the stunt with one hand and sheer strength. I mean the record with two hands is 2-4 minutes and then I am being generous with the numbers, in his case we are talking significantly more than that time. So unless they are the claim I wonder why anyone would think they were a hand. Maybe it's just for him to regulate the balloons. But he would have had a parachute as backup and if he has it under the jacket, he must be at a considerable height or have a special jacket. But anyway cool and not something I dared to do anyway

I know people that don’t have a single jump they don’t understand what we do on a normal jump. Every jump myself and everybody else we visit our LZ on the ground first before landing at it during a jump. I pick out 1-2 backup LZs just for safe measure. I’ve landed at scene flights hundreds of times doing medevacs and I’ve jumped 3x not landing at a LZ I’ve visited on the ground. I can feel exactly what he’s feeling when he’s Triple checking the LZ. From the air everything look flat but it can be terrible terrain with overhead sun and you won’t see it. Power lines are impossible to make out until you are on top of them. So I completely understand his double triple quadruple checking. Especially when 99% of our jumps we see the LZ ahead of time and know what it looks like on the ground.

I’ll give you damning evidence that the earth spins at a proximately 1,000 miles per hour on its axis this being due to the earths initial angular momentum when God made this planet. Let me explain to you a Foucault pendulum. A Foucault pendulum is a device that demonstrates the Earth’s rotation. As the pendulum swings back and forth, its plane of oscillation appears to rotate slowly over time. The direction of this rotation depends on the observer’s location on Earth. This effect occurs because the Earth ROTATES beneath the swinging pendulum. I can pretty much end the argument there but let’s go deeper.. We also have the Coriolis effect which is an apparent deflection of moving objects (such as air masses or ocean currents) caused by the Earth’s rotation. For example, winds in the Northern Hemisphere are deflected to the right, while winds in the Southern Hemisphere are deflected to the left. We can observe this effect in weather patterns, ocean currents, and ballistic trajectories. Additionally, look at the damn sky! If you observe the night sky, you’ll notice that stars and celestial objects appear to move across the sky in arcs! This is due to the Earth’s rotation. (Our solar system is heliocentric so those celestial objects are not revolving around earth) Additionally, the fact that the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west each day is even further evidence of the Earth’s rotation.

❤oh my gosh. Just watching this video I had goose bumps. I have always wanted to jump out of a airplane with a parachute. This has been one of my dreams along with finding Ciera and then marring my boyfriend Darryl Gill

[@holymoly271]

I don't have any unique words for this amazing team, but that was wonderful. Did you see a curve, i didn't😅

[@sailorman8668]

He jumped from an altitude of just under 25,000 feet - why would you expect to see any curvature in this footage? If you don't see curvature from a commercial passenger jet at an altitude of 35,000 feet, then why would you expect to see any from an even lower height? Just out of interest, have you ever seen any footage that's been recorded from the International Space Station that orbits the earth at an altitude of 250 miles?

[@curtcoller3632]

This stunt has really raised my already elevated blood pressure. I started to breath with him at 14000 feet, hoping he would soon decide to jump back to earth. But the minutes that followed ... I asked myself questions like "what if he blacks out? --- what if his finger get numb and he can't pull the release. What if he keeps going up." I had to continue watching ... and yes ... he did it at over 25000. GREAT JOB. Your are the second David and Copperfield seems to be Goliath. YOU ARE A WINNER. Thanks for your bravery and your shows.

Wish they would write it in Celsius too, not just old Fahrenheit, so the rest of the world can understand. Also Celsius is super intuitive for this. For reference, when it says 32° F, that's 0° (and unlike Fahrenheit, Celsius makes it pretty clear that that is freezing point)
