Subject: RE: Redbull StratosI watched all but approximately 40 min. of the ascent, and was intrigued with the pre-checking they went through a little over an hour into it. The constant reaffirmations were great. I had sweaty palms and was getting emotional during those last 5 minutes before the jump, when they showed his Mother crying, and as he stepped off. I felt helpless, so I couldn't imagine how and what he felt. This was one of the most incredible things I have witnessed, which almost beats out watching some of the black and white televised moon walks back in 1969 when I was just over 4 years old. I'm so glad he came back unhurt and alive! Congratulations on such a feat! |
