That actually varies by his altitude at the time, it's 761mph at sea level but drops a lot the higher you get.
e: worked it, out, at 100,000 feet it's 684mph, at his speed he hit Mach 1.066.
Yhis dude is crazy. Shame he opened the shoot ten seconds too early to break the freefall record.
Apparently that was down to his visor fogging up apparently, he couldn't see his altitude properly.
Was a bit of an anticlimax, fair play to him for doing it but a bit boring
Just wait for the view from the cameras in his suit!
This was truly amazing. I did start to panic that I might witness a man plummet to his death when he started to spin. Glad he landed safely.
Reminds me of an old joke.....
I was watching the space shuttle once and I said to my Dad, "I wish I could be shot into space!"
He looked at me and replied, "If I'd have been five seconds quicker son, you would have been!"
