Felix Baumgartner NEVER skydived today as the whole thing was an ELABORATE HOAX which was completely CGI | |

This is getting ridiculous. "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

He should have reached terminal velocity sooner. As if he was to go that fast and release a parachute wouldn't that be dangerous. Like deadly? |

Quoting: Stefan 1169279 He exceeded the speed of sound because he was falling through the extremely thin air of the stratosphere. As he fell into denser air, the thicker air provided more resistance and slowed him down to a speed at which deploying his chute was safe. It is, to me, sad how fast people forget the FOUNDATIONS of our fine country! This country was built by an armed population capable of fending for themselves, and will be lost by couches full of potato-sheeple riding their 52" HD-LEDTV's into the orwellian sunset. :( :abomb::abomb::abomb: BRING ON THE DOOM!!! |

Why does the sun shine like a giant flashlight and why are there no stars in space? With so many pointing out the lack of stars in space mission photos, why hasn't anyone thought use a camera adjusted to capture stars from space? |

I understand why people think that the moon landings were fake. What purpose would someone have to fake a high altitude jump? TO sell more energy drink that tastes like the south end of a north walking goat? I don't think so. I just don't get why someone would fake this. There is no reason.

And 9 minutes to make it to earth? Do the math and look at the science before you call it a hoax or claim that it is posssible. |

Why the hell would this be fake? Just give a good reason Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22459462 Why would it be faked? That is a good question, could range from making money, to an attempt at legitamizing things like going to the moon and other space stuff. An advertisement for certain technology as one person suggested is also a possibility. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25080177 Remember air gets thinner higher up as well. Actually yes, yes they can rise that high. And they are usually filled with Hydrogen, his was filled with Helium because they could afford to. He went Mach 1.24 assisted by his time in a vacuum, but once he was within our atmosphere he was slowed down to terminal velocity just like any other skydiver.

So here I am after a 2second Google search. Here to pay homage to your stupidity. Quoting: desertraider91 25578022  Sadly most if the world are ignorant, thats why the worlds in the shape it is now. The great majority of people don't know a thing about the scientific knowledge that is behind the technology we have today. I can garantee at least 90% of the people who watched this guy jump, did not give a second thought to the science and technology and calculations that made it possible, they just watched the show. |
