Well, if the feed cuts out now, I think we can assume that something went horrible wrong.

Yeah...would suck my phone battery dry.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

How long will he be falling?

~5 minutes until he his 5K feet and pulls the parachute.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Really, how can he live through this?

Pressure suit, O2 tanks, and brass balls bigger than CPR's.

 

[AlleyAddict]

Are they lying to him about his altitude?

No doubt. This is intense...wow.

 

[GrindingAway]

That balloon looks like its stretched like a fat boob.

For some reason I'm thinking about that gif of the lady skydiving nude. Warble

Are they lying to him about his altitude?

Mission control was telling him the altitude the cabin was pressurized to. The cabin wasnt to the outside altitude so the door wouldn't open.

 

[3TrueFans]

Unbelievable.
