Joseph Kittinger Quotes

An Hour And Thirty-one Minutes After Launch, My Pressure Altimeter Halts At 103,300 Feet. At Ground Control The Radar Altimeters Also Have Stopped-on Readings Of 102,800 Feet, The Figure That We Later Agree Upon As The More Reliable. It Is 7 O'clock In The Morning, And I Have Reached Float Altitude ... Though My Stabilization Chute Opens At 96,000 Feet, I Accelerate For 6,000 Feet More Before Hitting A Peak Of 614 Miles An Hour, Nine-tenths The Speed Of Sound At My Altitude.
