  13. RIP i dont think this will be game over this is the fourth fatality on this program given the 3 engineers that where killed in the 2007 explosion.
  14. Given that he landed 70 miles away from where he took off, I'm interested in hearing details about how the recovery team tracked him. In the video I see what appears to be a skydiver run toward him as the first person to greet him. Then in a later shot a helicopter is landing nearby. So, am I correct to assume that a helicopter was in the general areas where he was expected to deploy and as he got near the landing area someone jumped from the helicopter to be the first person on the ground to greet him back to earth? Could this person also help in figuring out the wind direction? Perhaps by setting the landing pattern for him? spotter plane http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/top-secret-mission-edmonton-pilots-helped-google-exec-set-near-space-skydive-record-1.2072451
  15. http://d1i5n1u2fq2wa3.cloudfront.net/-EcFPk04SDadkEBNUCaYyA.jpeg I doubt anyone needs to worry about trying to stand it up in that suit http://www.skydivemag.com/article/alan-eustace-stratosphere-explorer?fwd=1 canopy deployed at 15k 30 minutes in the stratosphere what an amazing experience he would have had up there.
