Cancelled for today.
__________________
The word "there" can appear as a pronoun, as in “over there". "Their" is a possessive pronoun. In a phrase like “Susan and Bill's car,” it could be used to to make a new phrase: “their car.” ”They're” is a contraction of “they are.” “They are” should always be able to replace “they're.” Extra credit: It's "I'm looking for an M3" not "I'm looking for a M3".

This is so cool.
Why is he saying to him that he is at 100,000' and has 28,000' more to go, but the counter on the video already showing ~128,000' ???

The inner pressure wasn't matching the outer pressure and Felix didn't know why he couldn't open the door...

Did he manually open? If so, he should have waited another 15 seconds and he would have broke the longest freefall record..probably opened prematurely due to face mask fogging up issues.
Anyone else notice the breathing stopped at one point due to the spinning/tumbling as his hit mach?
