This project was delayed for a couple years partly because Felix was having panic attacks in the suit during training. Partly because of legal reasons.

Yeah, saw that. Said he visor fogged up, and then he started to spin, cutting his speed.

Still, freaking nuts.

He was about 30-40 MPH short of the sound barrier, he was in the 730 MPH range (needed 768)
