    Was going to ask this, did anyone make out the few words he said before the jump ?

    Rewatched the BBC coverage there, Edit: After watching it a couple of times, I'm 99% sure this is what he said...
    "Sometimes you have to be up really high, to see how small you are. I'm going over"

    If anybody can't find a video of the jump here is the JUMP itself NOT the whole fall.

    Enjoy!

    So about an hour ago I got to see a guy jump from the edge of space, live, right from my couch. Now the gf has the x factor on.

    Sigh :(

    I think he means it'd gonna be crap watchin it when you know everything goes to plan. Like watchin a football match after it's over & knowin the score. Watching it live was the only way to go!

    That was fantastic, the whole thing was on national tv over here, all over the newspapers for the last few months too. The guy is unreal,watching him just step off into a 39km fall with no fear was awesome.

    I'm going to go crack open a red bull, to Felix!
