Re: Red Bull Stratos Test Junp #1
Should be a great jump, and when you're falling from that height there's not as much molecular air density, so you fall a lot faster than terminal velocity at lower altitudes. When I went out at like 12,000-13,000 feet, I got a full minute of free fall before deploying. As high as he jumped in that test, his free fall time was not as long as it might seem it should have been. His free fall was for three minutes, thirty three seconds. So he started six times higher, but only free fell for a little over three times longer. He was traveling at an average of something like 360 mph, while I was falling at 120 mph.
