Posted October 24, 2014 Redbull apparently needs more wings to beat this Alan Eustace, a senior vice president at Google, broke the world record for high-altitude jumps The jump was made from the height of Earths Stratospheric layer at a height of about 135,000 foot from the edge of space, previous record was set at an altitude of 128,000 foot high.. The record setting jump was made at dawn where Alan was lifted by a balloon filled with 35,000 cubic feet of helium, from an abandoned runway at the airport . Alan Eustace, 57 Mr. Eustace was carried aloft without the aid of the sophisticated capsule used by Mr. Baumgartner or millions of dollars in sponsorship money. Instead, Mr. Eustace planned his jump in the utmost secrecy, working for almost three years with a small group of technologists skilled in spacesuit design, life-support systems, and parachute and balloon technology Mr. Eustace cut himself loose from the balloon with the aid of a small explosive device and plummeted toward the earth at a speeds that peaked at 822 miles per hour, setting off a small sonic boom heard by observers on the ground. He did not feel or hear the supersonic boom as he passed the speed of sound, he said. He performed two slow back flips before a small parachute righted him. To break an aviation record is incredibly significant, There is an incredible amount of risk. To do it safely is a testament to the people involved. - Mark Kelly Mr. Eustace’s maximum altitude was initially reported as 135,908 feet. The final number, based on information from two data loggers, Later submitted to the officials as 135,890 feet. He carried modest GoPro cameras aloft, connected to his ground-control center by an off-the-shelf radio. Alan accenting via specially designed helium baloon Mr. Eustace said that his technical team designed and redesigned many of the components of his parachute and life-support system during the three-year development phase. Many of the redesigns were the result of technical surprises. His technical team had designed a carbon-fiber attachment that kept him from becoming entangled in the main parachute before it opened. About four-and-a-half minutes into his flight, he opened the main parachute and glided to a landing 70 miles from the launch site He returned to earth just 15 minutes after starting his fall “It was amazing,It was beautiful. You could see the darkness of space and you could see the layers of atmosphere, which I had never seen before.” - Alan Eustace Specially designed Baloon used to carry Alan to the Strats The previous record was set by Felix Baumgartner a well known event set by Red bull & viral ..

Posted October 24, 2014 I can do it too, if I have enough money to burn. Money talks, nothing else. I'll have more respect to this wealthy dude, if he does an ironman in Kona under 10 hours.

Posted October 25, 2014 This rich oldman kind of cheated idk <_< why is he sleeping on a frame? and when he lands there still is a frame <_< for stabilizing his fall i guess? Felix holds the record for the highest free fall i suppose. Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
