Who the hell cares whether it was space or not? I mean come on, there's a reason nobody has broken his records yet, what he did was insane and it really shouldn't matter whether it's "space" to show the importance of this.
@Dashiar meteors and spacecraft burn up because they are going extremely fast, tens of thousands of miles per hour, relative to the earth. this guy started out with a speed of essentially zero since he just floated up on a balloon, and only reached 990 km/hr (615 mph) like the narrator said
He had to jump, he was reaching part of the atmosphere that goes into the negative 100s or so degree Celsius --- hence needing to jump to really save his life.
@Timothy24259 Actually he may have, but unfortunately the video is ambiguous. There is a standard speed of sound at sea level of about 760 mph, but properties of air such as pressure, density, temperature, and humidity affect the local speed of sound at any point. The video should have made it clear whether he actually broke the local speed of sound at that altitude or just was traveling faster than the standard speed of sound.
all this talk about having balls...what truly makes a man? just because he jumped from space doesnt mean he's any more of a man than you or me. yeah, he is extreemely brave, but i think a true "man" will stand up for whats right, be humble, and thinkof others before himself. THATS what i say is a man.
@thedustofafrica Duuuuuuuude his body was doing things yours NEVER will. Stop looking cute by being ignorant...Youre so safe on the internet huh, dont gotta show credetials,,,,,Insect
You guys really don't think they knew all the risks? Suits made for the pressure and temp. And the balloon fell back down didn't you see the video of him jumping off of it -__- lol I say all this with love
because he wasn't moving fast enough to compress the air in front of him to heat up and burn him. When meteors and such enter the atmosphere they are going over 30x faster then he was falling which is why they burn.
What I dont understand is how he was able to survive that and not have any adverse effects on his physiology. Wouldnt that altitude freeze him and wouldnt the pressure crush his head or body organs. He was being thrown around like a ragdoll. Ragdoll physics..
I don't understand. How could he not freeze to death? Was he close enough the earth to be dragged back, because it didn't look like it... How about the pressure, and why didn't he float away?
kittinger did not reach speed of sound, he reached 90% of the speed of sound at respective altitude. (sound is slowing down when you climb up, reaching zero at space.).
Ok, what's up with balls jokes? Yes he had allot of guts to do this thing, But after going to every video of this amazing event, Stop with the huge balls jokes, lol.
Not possible at that speed the friction from the air would catch him on fire and he would burn to death and if not enough oxygen was present he would still burn.
@m21cerney by your logic all supersonic aircraft should burst into flame before reaching their maximum velocity. meteors and spacecraft burn when they enter the atmosphere because they are going FAR faster. This guy went like 700 mph, the space shuttle went 18,000 mph on re-entry. next time try actually waiting one second and thinking (and doing a few simple google searches), you might learn something!
@nolanjuice84 Doubt that, you've already proved your inbred mind don't know whats right and wrong, why type a sentence about your cum on a Kittinger video. Sounds like someone so self conscious about their homosexual urges and tiny penis that they write nonsense on the interwebs. Don't even bother replying just shows how weak you are..... Oxygen Thief.
@KristovGaedkavich I'm deaf. And I ask because perhaps someone on here could explain it properly. Is 'atmosphere' just as you get back into the 'sky'? Thank you.
@SimoMcGauneo My bad. Yeah basically he opened it after friction with the atmosphere slowed him down from like 900 miles per hour to terminal velocity.
No, they still drop in space. Gravity doesn't just disappear. In fact, at orbit (which is much higher than what this guy jumped at) the force of gravity is 89% of that on the surface. You only "float" when you're in orbit, which is essentially continuous free falling.
So @1:35 she states that he accelerates to 990 km/h, and that this broke the speed of sound. The speed of sound is 1200 km/h. Am I missing something? Is she mistaken?
@jdt917 Havent you heard. Its in the works. A jet is being developed that would fly straight up and then down. As the world rotates the plane stays straight. Not sure about the physics though. But thatd be cool shit I think.
i read a first person account of this from kittinger himself..he said that he was certain he was floating into space until, due to his fear, he shitted in his pants and upon noticing that the poo was indeed running down his leg, he realized that earths gravity was in fact pulling him toward the earth... true story.
Thats gotta be the scariest shit ive ever heard of, your ass is in fucking outter space and you don't know if your falling or floating. You see the stars, planets, and then boom your back in the atmasphere and the wind is going past you fasting then the speed of sound thats just to intense
he's got some balls imagine he missed and went past. that would be freaky wonder were he would end up ha should start droppin rapists and pedos in deep space with hd cams and see wer they end up or who they see on there travels
Oh not much, chilling out a little. Oh yeah, I'll hitching a ride in a ballon, going to the edge of space where no human has ever gone before then I'll probably get bored cos nothing is happening up there and jump off to freefall for 15 minutes before coming back down and challenging your scrawny ass to a drinking game.
@s1mmelOne indeed he had barely entered the thermosphere when he jumped, he had yet to breach earths last defence against the cold of space, the exosphere
One word...awesome:)
