A that height, he'll be able to see the curvature of the Earth. Absolutely insane.

Anyone want to speculate on the physical effects of breaking the sound barrier on a human? I'm not entirely sure I understand what happens - the sound waves of your passing are in essence building up behind your axis of flight right? So isn't it dangerous to come back from supersonic? Depending on the altitude at which crossing that threshold occurs, there would be more or less pressure built up behind you, so I could see that wreaking havoc with his parachute or maybe tossing him around a bit extra?
Kudos to Red Bull too :yesway:
