all in favor to changing his name officially to
'THE MAN'

edit: I'm assuming he had some sort of way to breathe while the oxygen levels were low?

edit: dayumm, wouldn't doubt that would have been either the fastest or slowest 40 minutes of his life

seems impossible...he would lose all his body heat that high up not to mention how big of an o2 tank he would need just to breathe that long up there

also 40 minutes is way too long, this guy did 100k+ feet and decent was only 4 1/2 minutes...but i guess it is possible with a space suit

oh if thats the case, then it probably was just a camera that dropped...that would explain why it took 40 minutes for it to fall

since it has less mass, it would have just been tossing around in the winds in the upper atmosphere longer than a human body..and why the camera hit the ground so hard and was actually on the ground.

kinda like dropping a rock and a sheet of paper..the rock falls straight and the paper just floats around fapping off or whatever the hell it does

not entirely true go grab a pen and a basketball or a rock and a bb and drop all of them they will all hit the same time.. paper is a dif story

Sorry man but your statement is entirely false. Newton proved that mass has nothing to do with gravitational speed. You're right a piece of paper falls slower, but only because it catches uplift. Assuming a camera and a body are about as aerodynamic (since neither of them are significantly long or wide in any particular direction) as eachother they'd fall at the same time.

Cool stuff but I think it was just a camera. However there are a few parts that sound like someone is breathing.
