I was watching the hole thing with some friends, dammit.

The moment he jumps away.. FU** MAN DON'T DO IT!!

And then when he was dropping and spinning out of control I just though he loose it, then he stabilizes in a few seconds.

BALLS OF STEELE, indeed.

I missed the livestream (when he jumped), so had to watch it later. So awesome.

EDIT: Well, apparently he went really ????ing fast! (http://imgur.com/59rw6)

Nah, it's fine. I should have posted the image itself instead of a link. And now I know who you follow on Twitter!

There should be a law that requires someone smart to be attached to all news agencies for fact checking.


But then society would probably collapse.

Man, those flat spins from edge-of-space jumps are serious ****.  I'd have barfed and passed out and died probably. :V

So, everyone claiming that Shepard should have died in Mass Effect 2 is proven to be talking nonsense right now.

He didn't actually reenter, amusing as it would have been. But the next guy will have to.

I don't think free-falling from 200+ kilometers would be survivable, let alone trying to re-enter from orbit.  There's a pretty big difference between mach 1 and mach 20.
