I'm amazed at how well they proximated the landing zone.  If he'd gone for the freefall time record, he'd be dead.  The speed record was more important. :)

Damn, that was cool as fuck - I was bricking myself as he stepped onto the platform and was holding onto those tiny little handrails!

Nice jump, but looked a little soft and watery from the rear

I was like," damn this dude is jacked off of life after he landed". My wife said, "yeah, he's probably got a boner".  That was amazing.

Amazing is not a word good enough to describe what I just saw. A true inspiration and example of what determination and desire can achieve.

Strato jump amazing ?!? How??

Okay lets leave the technicalities on the side, they are amazing , and nobody doubts that Baumgartner has elephantitis but....
Why was his jump so amazing?
He sat in a capsule, dropped from door at 30k feet, pulled a string which opened his parachute and that's it, how is that amazing, I fact I would say there are thousands of people that "could" do the same.

Somebody freediving 100 meters on a single breath of air is amazing, the stratos fall was a massively hyped advertisement.

Yeah, thousands "could" do it. The fact is "thousands" don't have the balls to do it.
