Very true and very good deltron80 Quote If this idea involves some other way to get to altitude other than riding inside inexplicably ridiculous gas guzzling flying metal monstrocities, sign me up! No. My idea is about high-altitude jump, more precisely jump/parachuting from space, from 100 km altitude (as known, according to international definition the boundary between the Earth's atmosphere and outer spacelies at this height). The height record is approximately 31,330 m and I think it is possible to increase this up to 100 km. I am not professional skydiver, Physicist and etc. but I was thinking how this would be possible to accomplish and perhaps I found the method……maybe this idea is too naïve or difficult to realize in practice or too risky. I guess many questions and note will be raised when you read it and answering them I will try to improve it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites grimmie 176 #16 May 4, 2011 Sounds pricey.
