Chapeau to Alan Eustace. The Google computer scientist broke Felix Baumgartners' freefall record this Friday, Oct. 24, 2014.
He was towed aloft (not encapsulated) while suspended from a helium balloon.
He separated over a mile higher than Baumgartner.
He reached 822 mph within 2 minutes of separation..
He landed within 70 miles of launch.
He is 57 years old.
Raising a glass to this exemplary accomplishment.
