guildmage 11 Posted October 9, 2012 Been also following this. Website above is completely jammed with people and apparently doesn't work anymore as there was too many people connecting to it. You can see it live on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkJ5ItzEq3M&feature=player_embedded This project today had problems right from beggining... radio problems and now it's been called off due to high winds. Next time... we will see if humnan being can go supersonic :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted October 14, 2012 I have to admit to being a bit concerned at one point - about 1 minute into the fall when they were still viewing him with the infra-red camera - he was tumbling like a rag doll! Then he seemed to hit some actual air where he could control his descent a bit and then he levelled out.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
