had heard about the lack of air meaning his clothes don't ripple in the wind, but seeing it is weird.
Can see why the first bloke that did it thought he was stuck up there

Just mental to think how high he jumped from, then landed on his feet. Amazing.

It was a bit like a film, had to tell myself that it was live and if he couldnt pull out of it, then it wasnt going to end well. He did so well to stabilse himself, must be so hard to do.

The external footage from the helicopters was good as well. Seem almost unreal when he touched down perfectly on foot having been in space not so long ago.

Just amazing footage, in a spin at 850mph - Must of been gutting when it came time to pull the chute, realising that it was over after going through what he'd been through
As someone said above, the lack of movement from the suit, due to lack of atmosphere was brilliant, must of felt like it took an age to feel anything, even though the view from the platform showed him plummeting

I thought it was game over when he passed out for a split second.
Absolutely incredible.
