For the high jump

[Hadron]

Seems like they've decided the wind was low enough for the free-fall record attempt today. If anyone want to watch live, it seems to be streaming here.

Watched it here at work. Pretty sweet.

 

[Hadron]

I was quite calm watching the descent, but felt pretty tense during the checklist before opening the door - think my imagination was a little too vivid .

 

[breadnatty08]

Yeah, I have a pretty big fear of heights, I can't imagine what he was going through when he opened that door!

Yeah, I have a pretty big fear of heights, I can't imagine what he was going through when he opened that door!

Relief, possibly: I read that his biggest problem during training was claustrophobia!

 

[breadnatty08]

Yeah, I knew it'd take him a while to get up there, but 2 and a half hours! Just sitting there going through checklists. They couldn't give him a PSP or something?

 

[Bearsyzf]

yeah, that is not for me
