He deployed a drogue. Great achievement, but Kittinger and Felix did it in free fall.

Being a Google exec, I wondered if this was backed by any of Google tech from their project loom? Anyone found any articles that may suggest that?

Not very Base-related, but:
57 year old Englishman Alan Eustace has set quietly and elegantly a new world record jumping from 41000m/134514ft and braking through the sound barrier during freefall.
All without much media attention. Congratulation for that.
I guess you guys missed me posting this already!
It's in the Hangout forum because this isn't about BASE jumping.
Re: [Ronald] New Stratosphere jump/ Felix' record broken!
Felix had no Drogue record. So it was The DUDE Joe that had that record. Take care,

This is so dumb. Why do something unless everyone can see how super cool you are??? This is not an example we should be setting for our children! I guess it also shows that you can do basically anything with enough money. Good on this guy for doing what he did how he did it.
