Well... he didnt go up in flames going through the sound barrier.

 

[Q5?]

Found it.

 

[ottomatic]

729mph! But what I really want to know is.........did the watch make it through unscathed?

Good catch on the watch. I was wondering myself.

These are the facts just come out of the press conference :

Jumped from 128,100 feet. His free fall distance was 119,846 feet. he hit a max velocity = 833.9 MPH = mach 1.24​

And yes, he is un scratched and doing his live press conference now.

Zenith ran a competition, where the person who guessed where Felix would land on a map would win a nice el primero striking 10th. I missed the spot by hundreds of miles, of course.

I wish I'd known about that. I'm writing this about 90 miles from Roswell.

Any idea what it's like to break Mach 1 with nothing between you and the air but a pressure suit?
