    Technically I don't think he's anywhere near being in space, but someone can correct me on that.

    Really needs two guys doing it like a regular parachute jump. One guy with a helmet cam to show how fast the other guy is going!

    In reality I suppose thats too awkward and DANGEROUS.

    When they're doing the dual-screen thing, the world spinning in the background; is that actual footage from somewhere, or just a graphic they put together to use as a background?
