    I can see him doing it regardless - and he's just started the egress checklist i.e. he's going to jump. Vertical speed is down to double digits in ft/min.

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    What would happen if he farts at that altitude?

    If it's bad enough, he'd probably jump sooner than expected.

    Technically I don't think he's anywhere near being in space, but someone can correct me on that.

    Really needs two guys doing it like a regular parachute jump. One guy with a helmet cam to show how fast the other guy is going!

    In reality I suppose thats too awkward and DANGEROUS.

    When they're doing the dual-screen thing, the world spinning in the background; is that actual footage from somewhere, or just a graphic they put together to use as a background?
