Technically it isn't space until you are outside Earth's gravitational field.

Sorry guys, It's not legit.

loving, I want to do that.

Ignorant statement. Unless you enter the gravitational field of another mass, you'll always be effected by Earth's gravity. Even astronauts in orbit weigh 90% of their Earth weight. An astronaut that weighs 180lbs on Earth would weight 161.6lbs in orbit (at 220 miles up). They are weightless, but it's due to a constant state of falling towards earth in a path that stays equidistant from the earth. That's orbit.

Why do you think the Moon stays in orbit?

Leaving Earth's gravitational field?

lol




Bumping this stuff.

Epic fun, I want to try.

I am scared of heights. I would probably Piss my pants

IN SPACE! I'd piss my pants any day in "space"...

Joe Kittinger dived from a balloon in space to shred some waves.  


Lol this is great.  For a while I had a fear of skydiving.  Although I haven't gone yet, I want to go now.  This though... this... is insane.  I dunno how I'd feel doing this.  I would definitely be overwhelmed with emotions.  Id probably stuff my pants, but I think it'd be the best stuff I ever took :)

The music on this vids great

No, you're in space when you leave the atmosphere.

The guy didn't do that either, but it was pretty stupid of you to say this.

Plus it's impossible to completely leave it's gravity. Gravity is infinite. (I'm affecting jupiter etc.)

I thought his left or right glove broke and his hand swelled to twice the size.
