unfortunately, it seems that the launch is cancelled due to strong winds.

Yes, it is cancelled :(

Speed of sound in free fall? What happened to terminal velocity?

Comment by Eric Tweet on October 9, 2012 at 12:47pm

I heard that the atmosphere wasn't interested in this little game, so it got up and walked off leaving fewer particles to slow a descent ;)

Comment by Greg Fletcher on October 9, 2012 at 12:57pm

Stefan, at 120,000 ft there is practicaly no atmosphere so terminal velocity is much higher and the speed of sound is less.

here is the physics behind that jump.

So is the jumper a pilot or just ballast?
