Off the ground
GO GO GO!!!
How high until he jumps? 120000? I thought I just heard the guy say it would take two hours.
Yeah he said around 2 hours total so around 1:35.
His ascent slows the higher he gets.
kreisler,
Post #9 has no business here whatsoever. You really do need to get a grip on what you post here. Your way out of line.
Lemme predict what Kreisler will do.
1. He will delete it.
2. He will then say what post? Along with some dumb smiley. ;)
Just in from playing in the sky myself.
This weekend also marks One Sky One World as it does every 2nd Sunday in October
How “World Kite Day” Began
The historic 1985 summit meeting of Presidents Ronald Reagan of the U.S. and Mikhail Gorbachev of the U.S.S.R. marked a significant step towards peace between the super-powers. The spirit of that meeting inspired One Sky One World (OSOW) founder and Colorado kite maker, Jane Parker-Ambrose to create a kite commemorating this new promise of global harmony. The flags of the U.S. and U.S.S.R. are joined on the face of the kite. Halley’s comet, which revisited the Earth in 1986 for the first time in seventy-six years, is shown as a portent of peace. On a “people-to-people” visit to Moscow in the Fall of 1985, Jane presented her kite along with a letter of friendship, signed by some 300 kitefliers from the U.S., Canada, Japan and the United Kingdom to the Soviet Women’s Peace Committee. This gesture of global goodwill gave birth to the idea for One Sky One World, which has become widely recognized in the U.S. and internationally each year on the second Sunday of October as “World Kite Day”. Since its inception in October 1986, hundreds of thousands of people have attended One Sky One World events in more than 30 nations. The 26th Annual One Sky One World will take place on Sunday, October 14, 2012.
DON…Piece
For those in the United States this is being broadcast on Discovery channel, albeit with commercials.
For me the one on Discovery is ahead of the online one. I wonder why. :(
36.000meters. Metric system WOHOOW! :P
Its on Austrian TV channel "ServusTV". Live and in HD. Online is always a little behind due to all the transmitting, transforming and transgendering..
In 1947, this day is the exact same day in which the Bell X-1 broke the sound barrier.
We are writing history….
On 14 October 1947, just under a month after the U.S. Air Force had been created as a separate service, the tests reached their peak the first manned supersonic flight, piloted by Air Force Captain Charles “Chuck” Yeager in aircraft #46-062that he had christened the Glamorous Glennis for his wife. This rocket-powered airplane was launched from the bomb bay of a modified B-29 Superfortress bomber, and it glided to a landing on the dry lake. XS-1 flight number 50 is the first one in which the X-1 recorded supersonic flight, at Mach 1.06 (361 m/s, 1,299 km/h, 807.2 mph) peak speed.[1]
