Anyone know anything about this? Try this http://observer.guardian.co.uk/inter...754911,00.html And, that link mentions that Joe Kittinger did it around 30 years ago. Beside the supersonic freefall that Joe did, he also got a MiG in SEA and spent some time as a guest of the North Vietnamese. Ooops. I've fallen into the trap that Ed Majden set. Here's yet another claim that either a Yank or a Russian did everything worth doing first! Yep, Kittinger did it already.
