I can't help but to think it was fake.. When he's leaving that space craft thing, his moves are just so robotic.. Fake looking. When he's flying through space, that can easily be faked. As he's landing, the shadow just looks too weird. IDK, maybe I'm just higher than I though, but it just looks fake to me.

At that altitude, even the lower quoted speed would have qualified. A useful link:

I think it's an artifact of being in a pressure suit. The astronauts reported that it was like trying to move while wrapped mummy-style in duct tape. cn

I remember someone in another thread said he didn't hit that speed until he was well into the Earth's atmosphere so not sure how high he was up at that point when he did break it.

Considering that his lifter was a balloon, i would have to conclude he was "in atmosphere" the whole time!

Also, I just did a weed-assisted over-the thumb calc that suggests he was at about 30 or 31 km altitude at max velocity. He stepped out at 39 km. cn

And he landed it like a badass!! The real question is how did they fit his balls in that flight suit!?! He hit 833.9mph on the way down and broke the sound barrier!!
