Dayvan Cowboy - from Campfire Headphase

This is a video from the Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada, featuring stock footage of an experiment called Project Excelsior, which dealt with effects on pilots at extremely high altitude bail-outs. The jump was from 102,000+ feet, and there is debate upon whether or not this was actually the first time man broke the sound barrier, which is currently attributed to Chuck Yeager - who also had the luxury of being in a plane when he did it later.

Definitely one of my favorite songs of all time.

I told jimmy on the day he jumped to strap his helmet tight but he was cocky

[sigmundurharalds]

He jumped frome high orbit off the outer rims of jupiter.....he traveled for a total of 3 days in space until entering orbit....teh tempertures would reach +290 Celsius...his helmet was made of carbon fiber material mixed with steel andamantium...laced with a thick layer of rubber. the jump whent of whitout a hitch as they say but "Billy" the jumper.

complained of intense headaches and a burning sensation in the back of his head afterwards....later he went to disneyland and was happy

The exscalibur mission along with the halo2 and halo3 jumps makes this jump very special, this astronaut Jimmy Cornwell had to endure intense testing on submarines and exstensive G-force training he could take a total of 15 G´S for 3 minutes,

Nasa designed the fyrst ever carbon-fiber helmet wich can be driven over by a steam roller but it would not brake.....and when jimmy entered our orbit his helmet cracked by the pressure, he deployd a thick nano grid iron parachute

the fyrst ever halo jump frome high orbit......the suit he is wearing is ground breaking material made of micro nanobiotics wich can sustain really high temps

from Campfire Headphase??? it was from "Trans canada highway"

This is Joe Kittinger who was an air force pilot. It's called Project Excelsior III. It occurred on August 16th 1960, he jumped from a gondala at 102,800ft/31,300m and hit a high speed of 614mph/982kph. The jump last 4 mins 36 secs. He is still alive today.
