It would be awesome during free fall if he struck a flock of geese.

That doesn't seem awesome at all. That seems like it might do some damage.

I'm watching too... it's insane.

He's at 53,000 feet and still has 10 miles to go. Wow.

They said earlier it is expected to expand significantly once he hits a certain altitude.

I doubt he survives this, the pressure in the capsule is so much higher than the pressure in his suit. Something may go bad considering he's gotta go 60k feet where your body can boil
