A USAF pilot put on a space suit and sat in a balloon-lifted capsule and skydived from 102.000 feet! Go to Google and look up Joe Kittinger for details of his flight. And, yes there are Youtube videos to enjoy. Believe it or not, in the 1960s A person DID take a ride in a “space chair”.

Give a car seat to the Top Gear Guys and they will put it on Mars.... If they had put it in orbit I would have been impressed. Give a car seat to the Top Gear Guys and they will put it on Mars….

Alas, maybe I'm an optimist but it seems the right thing to do.

I've posted lots of facts about the shoot here, if you're so inclined: http://bit.ly/2LrQH7Cheers, Jackie Very cool execution!
