Greggy Wallace Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 There's a video on youtube of the guy who done it in the 60's. Takes about 15 minutes. Looks amazing when you see him approaching earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggy Wallace Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Speaking of stuff that falls out of planes, did anyone read that story a couple of weeks ago about the guy they found dead on a london street? Turned out he had hid in the wheel of a plane and fell out as it was taking off. Apparently this shit happens quite often, the chances of survival are about 10% or something. They either get crushed by the wheels or pass out and fall to their death. There is a nice story for a rainy Sunday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Why bother doing this - you dont even get to meet Roy Castle these days, people watching are only doing so on the off chance he splats himself across the ground or burns up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Sergio Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Two hours until he reaches the correct altitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensation of being out of earth and then plummeting into it would probably change your whole outlook on life. It would be fucking incredible.

Ziggy Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 When they landed the capsule after the failed attempts, how far had it traveled? It's had a groundspeed of over 100mph at some points of this launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwififer Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 He's out and going. One thing though, there's an object rapidly approaching him. It's Beckham's penalty from 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
