I leapt from the stratosphere. Here's how I did it | Alan Eustace

Ғылым және технология

On October 21, 2014, Alan Eustace donned a custom-built, 500-pound spacesuit, attached himself to a weather balloon, and rose above 135,000 feet, from which point he dove to Earth, breaking both the sound barrier and previous records for high-altitude jumps. Hear his story of how - and why.

    This is extraordinary ! He jumped from the stratosphere ! I don't think the public realizes that this man holds the world record for the highest-altitude free-fall jump. He jumped from 135 000 feet while Felix Baumgartner jumped from 128 000.

    Actually he jumoer from the mesosphere that starts at 30km to 50 km (18.64 miles to 31 miles and the stratosphere is from 10 to 30 km (6.2 miles to 18.64 miles! So now it sounds far more away 🤣

    Yeah, he went 2.4km higher but 2 years after Felix. We already knew humans could survive at such altitudes with special suit. There was nothing unique about his jump, because while indeed he went higher, he was neither the first stratosphere jumper (that would be Joseph Kittinger), nor was his decent un-aided like Felix's who even broke sound barrier in freefal. So, what's your point?

    SOOOOO much going on here. It's worthwhile to compare this jump to Baumgartner's jump. Eustace suit was way heavier and sophisticated than the Baumgartner's. Baumgartner achieved a stand-up landing. Both of these guys are absolutely awesome. We all have these pivotal, once-in-a-lifetime moments. Mine was either landing a 46-lb chinook OR breaking 200 kph on a motorcycle. Eustace had his, I'm very very happy for him. Very overlooked fact: these guys are not just daredevils. With each and every stratosphere parachute jump, progressively more and more is learned. Extremely valuable knowledge because it provides an excellent contigency for astronauts to be able to potentially bail out of a disabled spacecraft and return safely to earth.

    interesting info...Felix wasn't even the first to do it. Joe Kittinger jumped from 102,000 ft in 1960, which for me gets gold medal just for being the 1st to do it. He also had a hole in his left glove which made his hand swell to over twice its size which is why he never went any higher.

    I believe he went in 2012 and was at 128,000 feet where you saw the curve and to a point which I believe you see on the Go-Pro KZread site where the curve curves the opposite way so it dips. I guarantee no flat earther wants to see in case they fear how damaged they would become having their belief blow up in their face.

    "is it possible to linger in the stratosphere. Is it possible to explore the stratosphere." The stratosphere is often a misunderstood and forgotten place, but even though it looks "empty" it's also quite fascinating. More Sci Fi stories should take place in the stratosphere, whether it'd be huge floating cities or incredibly tall towers. I have an idea of such story, and I hope that we may have the birth of "Stratospheric Opera" (Space Opera but in the Stratosphere) in sci-fi one day

    Felix was well-known in the skydiving and BASE community and was not well-liked because of his tendency to make his stunts public and blaze objects. He and Red Bull were a perfect fit. Joe Kittinger helped with the project. Skydivers tipped our hats at Felix but many of us wished it was someone else. Eustace was a skydiver. He is one of us. He is just a gentleman and a great guy. And this Eustace in this speech is not refective of how he is one-on-one. He's much nicer and friendlier in person.

    +dqcroc interesting. I could see how such a system could have less weight than the parachute option.

    That parachute seems pretty small for a 700lb. payload!! That helps explain why his landing was so crashy!

    No matter how slow or smooth the landing is, the you have to carry the 700 pounds on your legs! one can! it's better to crash than to break your legs.

    Eduardo Delvi Well, the chute size coulda been doubled for a few more pounds, which is a great trade-off for defying twice the gravity of that 700lbs. on the descent!

    He doesn’t need a bigger parachute, because the problem is the weight he has to carry once on land

    Eduardo Delvi A bigger parachute would fall much more slowly, thereby reducing the inertial shock of slamming into the ground.

    So he says he needs a balloon with a volume of ~50M ft³. That equates to a sphere with a radius of about 230ft (70m), and a surface area of about 650,000 ft² (61,000 m²)
