Google VP Leaps From Stratosphere

Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/24/alan-eustace-record-jump_n_6044598.html

 

Alan Eustace, a senior vice president at Google, set a new world record today by completing the highest-altitude free fall yet--parachuting from 135,908 feet (or 25 miles) above Earth.

To put that into perspective, I think looking down from a second story bedroom window is already scary :/

 

The record was previously held by daredevil skydiver Felix Baumgartner, who leaped from 24 miles above Earth in October 2012.

Well I guess the race is on now

 

“It was amazing,” Eustace told The New York Times. “It was beautiful. You could see the darkness of space and you could see the layers of atmosphere, which I had never seen before.”

That actually sounds really really cool...

 

And last but not least: A video

 

So thoughts? 

 

(P.S. first news post, feedback is always welcome)

Yeah! from now on never try that with tech news section seriously nobody gets anything back even forum a recent post, You don't wanna know how many posts from me got locked due to reposts :( ,

 

anyways usually i do the rather pretty accurate Google search, Use these keywords next time via google,

 

 

Site: Linustechtips.com "input the search term"

 

Copy paste on search tab on Google & change the subject in between the quotes"" & enter

This usually brings up most accurate results, i pretty much always do that nowadays, unless I'm really bored :/ , So there you go & Keep up the tech postings.. :)
