Title: This is ABSOLUTELY crazy!!!
Post by: Localonthe8s on May 24, 2008, 01:36:13 PM

This space diver is going to jump 25 miles from the stratosphere. During his 130,000 feet freefall he will be jumping higher than the heights of Mt. Everest, and Concorde which flew at 60,000 feet. It's supposed to happen sometime this year.
