tbh if he did it would send a message to the masses:

[Marc]

I don't have any feed? Has it stopped for anybody else?

skyfallllllll~

[SharkAttack]

There are some things that do *not* need doing and this is one of them. :joker:

[Mrluvaluva]

Apparently the wind speed needs to be less than 2mph or something. They are going to have to wait for a rsre day...

[billy123]

He succesfully launched about 15 mins ago and is now at 25,000 feet.

[billy123]

Now approaching 70,000 ft and they have had to jettison some ballast because the crosswinds of the gulf stream are taking him off course at a higher rate than calculated.

[King Gizzard]

So basically he's had that terrible-but-good at the same time feeling in his stomach that you get when you go down on roller coasters, for an extended amount of time

[Me. I Am Salman]

Watching now from BBC News this **** is tense

[Apple202]

Watching it now

[Me. I Am Salman]

Hurry up and do it!!

[Me. I Am Salman]

Oh my god

[thesheriff443]

next week ben will be doing this with a sheep strapped to his back, just to up his game:joker:

[Me. I Am Salman]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[MTVN]

You'd have to be mental to do something like that

[Marcus.]

wow

[GypsyGoth]

Did he die?

[Apple202]

He didn't break the record for longest freefall

[Apple202]

But I think he did for highest?

[Marcus.]

Did he die?

No he has not

[Me. I Am Salman]

What a legend, wow :worship:

[Marcus.]

What a legend, wow :worship:

he has the world recound 28,0000 ft wow

[Benjamin]

How annoying, I just tuned in and he landed 5 seconds later. :bored:

[King Gizzard]

I watch it for ages, then go for some food and he's landed

**** sake

[GypsyGoth]

He must be one of the best fallers ever.

[King Gizzard]

Gareth Bale just pips him

[Harry!]

I watched it and WOW what a massive achiement! I would be petrified if I tried to carry out the stunt! Congrats Felix!

[billy123]
