Obviously not too bothered otherwise they would abort!

So what's everyone think about the speed he wants to achieve can the human body withstand supersonic speeds

Has anyone seen the vid of the original guy? It's amazing, just silence for the first few mins because thetes so little atmosphere.

And yeah, his body will withstand it. Not like he's doing it starkers, he's in a spacesuit.

Documentary is definitely going to be worth a watch.

Also, further to what I said above, he'll reach that speed in areas that a very thin atmosphere, so there won't be any wind resistance, so it'll essentially feel as if he's not moving. When he gets lower and reaches thicker atmosphere he'll feel it more.

i always thought the higher up you go, the lower the temperature.

but it peaked at almost -70c, and is now steadying out at around -50c.

I thought this but apparently between 11-20km the temperature is a constant 56.5 degrees.

According to wiki anyway
