Post by: longnine009 on September 26, 2012, 05:50:52 AM: Hope it doesn't say "drop forged" on his capsule.

morning at 7am mountain time from New Mexico.
I guess it might take awhile to ascend 23 miles.

If he makes it maybe we could contact him and make him an honorary Knight ;D, and if he don't make it I reckon it won't much matter :(. Wonder what time he will be coming down? ??? Will try to be inside just in case. ;D

Post by: longnine009 on October 09, 2012, 06:23:47 AM: I assume they did some kind of computer simulation
that said he could survive it. I just don't understand
how? Planes approaching the sound barrier buffet
and have broken apart in the days before they
had enough power to break though. He won't
even have a airplane around him.

I can't find any news on it now either. Maybe they cancelled
it for today?

who seem to think the upcoming girly debates
are more interesting.

and mechanical protection
Sounds like they changed him into a living airplane

Post by: TwoShadows on October 10, 2012, 02:18:57 AM: Yes the darn wind put a halt to yesterdays jump! I would think the sound barrier would tear him apart? Guess we will find out but can't help but wonder if he will make a farting sound when he passes the speed of sound? And will we hear it or smell it? ;)

when he climbs out of that suit. :o
