My Response:

 

When Mrs. Lees first talked about the video I was like “What!”  A guy actually jumped off the edge of the atmosphere in space and survived just for a red bull commercial……that guy is nuts.  I mean really he was falling faster than the speed of sound and if his suit was to rip he would explode because of the heat and pressure change.  It would really hurt. But what I don’t understand is why he did it and there was no real explanation as to why he did it either.  Was it for the thrill, research or was he just crazy about skydiving?  I know he is a professional and all but he must have been scared out of his mind.  I know I would be because I hate heights.  I would totally have a heart attack on the spot.

  1. Hi Jaydn - good start to posting. Seems a little brief- your paragraph seems to wander a little into more than one idea. You posed a really great question - we didn't really discuss the "why" he did it and the clip we watched didn't either. I'm wondering, if you were curious, did you try to look up further information?
