    …… and he stuck the landing!

    Okay, that was cool and all, but who's gonna be the first to jump in a flying squirrel suit without a parachute? Now THAT would be something!

    Don't know who that will be, but I expect the stop will be rather sudden, so I hope he's sponsored by Invicta or the League of Ukrainian Frankenmeisters.

    Watch the heart rate when he's in the spin, jumps from 190+ bhp to zero and back several times

    Kittinger comes across the radio like your favorite granduncle on the phone - kinda corny, kinda hard of hearing, and kinda dotty and entirely loveable.

    Amazing footage. How did he not pass out? 700+mph free fall, spinning like a madman. What a stud. Just insanely cool!

    Not sure how he did any of it, but I think James Hunt might have had the answer...

    ..but I will take this one instead. This watch belonged to a member of the Stratos mission team and fortunately I was able to snag it.
