When he jumped, he yelled, "Geronimo!" and didn't hear himself until he landed. He hit 729 MPH but had to really slow down because a woman was below him. (Being jocular).

Well I think the Russians would have noticed us orbiting
the earth while they showed the movie. Since they hated
Nixon's guts I'm sure they would have narcked on him.

Did you see the  flash of light before he pulled the rip cord?
Maybe that was sound barrier?

They used do bungee jumping all the time down here
but I think they banned it when a few bungee cords stretched
a yard too hard. "And he ain't gonner jump no more." :D

He also has the highest speed for a skydiver-833 MPH. Since
he jumped from edge of space it's going to be hard for
anyone to do much more than tie him. He also broke
the sound barrier on the same  date that Chuck Yeager did
 Oct. 14, 1947 over New Mexico.
