Grea relief when he got into a stable freefall posture. Did he pull his chute early because his visor was misted?

Dunno, there's a press conference coming up.

Apparently the BBC are doing a documentary on this amazing feat and it should be aired in about a month's time. I would love to see some of the camera shots from Felix, providing the cams were working...

[freeflyjay]

[Rapallokid]

Well done Felix.
