Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

When the game is over, the Kings and Pawns all go into the same box.

Awesome. They keep saying to talk. What could you say falling 600 mph that could be rebroadcast? Missed the longest freefall though, odd.

I thought so too... was neat how quick he recovered from the initial uncontrollable 700+ mph free fall though.

All I understood was

"My visor is fogging up like h***!"

Perhaps he pulled a little early because of that.

I'm surprised he did.  I thought his balls of steel would've gotten in the way.

It was a great show. I hope they can get official word on the mach issue quickly. Shame he didn't get Kittinger's free fall record but he blew the heck out of the alt record.

I can see how the freefall record wasn't broken. I mean he did go over 800mph according to the reports this evening after they rechecked all the data.
