Glenn’s orbit around the earth in a tiny metal capsule with limited fuel and communications would terrify me more than jumping from the balloon

The fact that he came this close to being burned to a crisp adds to the queasiness.

Jumping out into nothingness and giving all control to

As it is from the womb a descent into nothingness, free but suffering nausea in the prison of conscious existence.

/Sartre’d
//no one made a Sartre daily affirmations calender did they?

That sounds unpleasant.

Jumping out into nothingness and giving all control to gravity is about as scary as it gets. I can’t imagine the balls it takes to see that and say “Yeah I’m going to jump out into that”.

Wolfe’s description of his ride in The Right Stuff will make you sweat.

It’s really the top most edge of the atmosphere, but nowhere near actual space.

It’s nearer than anyone else. He is going to make a nadir of himself as it were?

“Hi, I’m Janelle. I work as a temp for a real estate company. What do you do?”

Not sure about the French guy, but the Soviets did high altitude parachute drops as well in the 60s. The guy who held their record died their the decent though because he bumped his helmet on the gondola as he leapt out of it and cracked his visor.

“Some of them, quite honestly, have an empty-corpse quality…”

Kittinger, if you’ve never read about him, is one of the biggest badasses to ever walk planet earth. I think his balls are made of titanium.

i think there was a french guy in the space jump mix back in the day as well

also, i think part of the reason for the jump is research into space suits.

and pussy

It’s really the top most edge of the atmosphere, but nowhere near actual space.

He’s doing it to break the record held by Col. Joseph Kittinger, which was set in 1960. I’m sure there’s a science component as well, but what that could be, I don’t know.

Uh why is that guy jumping from space?

BECAUSE RED BULLS GIVES YOU WINGS, BRUH!!!!

Not sure, don’t really care. It’s awesome.

So you’ve been sleeping on the couch how many days now?

Also, if he pulls this off and lives, I think it is written somewhere that it is free pussy for life for him.
