Congratulations to Mr. Baumgartner for pulling off what would have made the average man dump a huge load of dung in his jeans.

I can’t imagine how hard my heart would be pounding if I had the nads to climb out on that little step at 128,000 feet. I made sure my kid got to watch this all the way from lift off to landing. Flipping crazy and awesome to see someone push the boundaries of what we know to these limits. Now I can add this to watching the first moon landing along with a dozen other events both successful and some tragic, and my son can say he watched history in the making for the first time.

Kudos to Red Bull and Mr Baumgartner for a fantastically successful mission. However, it’s pretty sad when an energy drink company has a better space program and the ability to fund that program than our nation.

I got a little spooked when he was complaining about his visor fogging, but you couldn't understand him at first. Then when he tumbled...My son started to panic.

Then that landing...Like a feather. Guy is awesome.
