Joe Kittinger (USA) did actually sky dive from the edge of space in 1960. First man to hit the speed of sound without an aircraft, but not quite high enough to qualify as the first man in space. <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-369888258105653405#" rel="nofollow">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-369888258105653405#</a> I could rattle on about the difference between being shot straight up into space, as opposed to reaching orbit, but I expect I'd be beaten to death with a rolled up copy of "New Scientist". hughesroland on "Sky diver who jumped from space 'still up there'" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=38373#post-108577 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:16:33 +0000 hughesroland 108577@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ I LOVE this.

Jim Howell thought a leap from space would be a natural progression from jumping from tables, buildings and aeroplanes. But a fundamental misunderstanding of the laws of gravity have led to red faces, a lost deposit on a space suit and a concerned parachutist trapped in permanent geostationary orbit. Howell's trainer is unrepentant. He believes the mission could still be a success if the plucky plummeter would just unpack the giant anvil from his rucksack, cling to it and try jumping down a bit harder. wallster on "Coroner's report concludes that porn addict died of visual aids." http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4486#post-12567 Fri, 14 May 2010 07:11:09 +0000 wallster 12567@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ how sad.
