Apparently this guy is about to skydive from 120,000 ft (23 miles) up!

My buddy just sent me a text that he's jumping at about 10:30 am EST.

Enjoy!

Capsule is ascending into the stratosphere.

Looks like about 11 minutes until jump.

We got a while yet before he jumps. The capsule is only about 3/4 of the way up to the jump height at 120,000 feet.

It was pretty sweet. I admit I took five minutes off from paying attention to the game to watch the jump.

Amazing. There were some tense moments when he was tumbling in the free fall. It takes some serious kahunas to make that jump though...i heard he broke the sound barrier too which is insane.
