Felix Baumgartner

[plexer]

Watched the HD YouTube feed on the big plasma telly in the mancave, sat in my leather armchair with my daughter on my lap... pretty awesome times

 

How annoying must it have been when his visor heating failed and it started to fog up though - you're in the midst of the highest freefall dive ever and you can't see anything for the mist on your helmet

 

Couldn't get the Youtube feed on mine so had to resort ot watching on laptop with eldest instead then afterwards found it had been showing on the bbc news channel I think.

...Space Dive features footage, which until now has been kept closely under wraps, from cameras attached to Felix, as he broke through the sound barrier...

 

Edit: Hadn't realised that this was the program that was referenced by the post by @plexer [above]

 

I didn't see it when it was broadcast on Sunday [didn't even see it trailed]

Add detail to the post.

I felt terrified for him while I was watching it... probably more scared than I was when I watched the actual jump live

[plexer]

It was repeated last night but I expect it's also on iplayer?

 

He was on the Graham Norton show the other night which was a very random interview.

I saw that too. He was adamant he wouldn't be repeating the dive and having seen the documentary, I'm not surprised!
