Sometimes a single human being can add action to the word awesome, instead of just saying it.

- andywebb95, on 10/28/2007, -0/+3Awesome!
This is something I definitely want to try someday. - Warptaco, on 10/28/2007, -0/+2It was really cool to see the camera slowly swing 30 kilometers up, the parachute flapping in the wind, the black sky above and the clouds far below. Somehow that made that place more real for me. I always thought that that high up the atmosphere would be almost non existent (as it is), but yet there still are these subtle little things like wind on the parachute.
If we ever build a space elevator, it would be interesting to stand on a platform that high up.
It also made me thing that would not it make some sense to have a parachute assisted reusable space vehicle. Surely a 30 kilometer lift would be worth the savings in fuel. - fragus, on 10/28/2007, -0/+2Very imaginative and ingenious!
Congratulations and thank you for sharing this - andywebb95, on 10/27/2007, -0/+1Agreed. Now its up to 99.
