Skydiver getting ready to jump from 40km height.

The balloon is only good for one filling as it is very delicate. They need a new balloon

Is the team going to record the actual jump? At 900FPM, it'll take a little over 2.5 hours to hit their target altitude.

Yes, he will be tracked by "a battery of ground telescopes" in addition to high definition cameras mounted on his gear.

Although I wonder, how the fuck is he gonna slow down?

Small drauge chutes? Horizontal velocity?

O rly?

Strike two...

Bar-headed Geese regularly migrate at an altitude of 30,750 feet.

Even at 10,000 ft he will be motoring...

He'll be traveling nearly the same speed at 30,000 ft compared to 10,000ft. Someone hitting geese at 10,000ft who jumped from 30,000ft have the same risk of someone who jumps at insane heights...

They do. I've hit them at that altitude with my ATOT shotgun.

They should apply some "Father Technology" to this suicide attempt.
When my kids were small, we'd tie their balloons to their wrists so the balloons couldn't float away.
