    a 9mm bullet travels at almost 700mph. He went over 800. But the image above said he went over light speed.. so that would be over 671 million mph.. so I don't know who to believe. :grin:

    if faster than light. he is faster than a laser... can dodge bullets w/out trying. He can prob go back in time and pop the guy that shot it before he pulled the trigger. ala Looper

    Finally, I've been wondering why they are waiting so long to release footage from all those different camera angles. I knew he had to be close to passing out when he was spinning so fast -- it was interesting to hear him say it to their ground control.

    Seems like there's not much skill involved. No offense for my ignorance.

    I didn't even know the record had been broken. I still think what Baumgartner did is one of the craziest things ever and the fact he just opened the door, took a step out of his capsule and just fell was ridiculously cool.

    Hell of a pitcher for the Giants. I agree. He single handedly willed them to a WS win in relief.
