Google engineer Alan Eustace rode a balloon 135,890 feet into the stratosphere and then fell back to Earth. He broke the skydiving record - and created a sonic boom - but hardly anyone noticed because Eustace didn't seek much attention for his feat, which he self-funded. I spent a...

Today we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the record-breaking StratEx space jump by former Google executive, pilot, and current Space Perspective board member, Alan Eustace. Eustace, in partnership with Paragon Space Development Corporation©—at the time, led by Space Perspective Founders Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum and included several other, now-current Space Perspective employees—worked together to break world records with this jump. Together, they created a zero-pressure balloon to carry Eustace to 41,422 meters (~135,890 feet), as well as a pressurized suit to keep him safe on ascent into and descent out of the stratosphere. On this jump, Alan broke the FAI record for exit altitude (previously held by Felix Baumgartner during the Red Bull Stratos jump), and set the records for distance fallen with a drogue device and maximum vertical speed with a drogue device. Beyond breaking records, the suit and systems developed were important in furthering technology for stratospheric exploration. StratEx Record Stats: Exit Altitude - 41,422 meters (~135,890 feet) Distance of fall with a drogue - 37,623 meters (~123,435 feet) Maximum vertical speed with drogue - 1,320 km/h (~820 mph) If you're interested in learning more about the record-breaking jump, check out "14 Minutes from Earth", a great documentary that goes in depth on the StratEx program. #alaneustace #stratex #spacedive #worldrecords #safety #design #engineering.

🎥 || Stephen Lord reveals that in Monza Lewis Hamilton felt quite emotional and left a personal note for Kimi Antonelli in his room, the note will be there forever as well. "Probably the one that I'm fondest of, happened this year and it's quite an interesting insight into the Lewis perhaps that the people don't see." "It was after the race in Monza. [..] I think the engineers had left so Lewis was upstairs in the room on his own. Lewis came down the stairs, ready to leave and head home. He goes to the bottom of the stairs and he stopped and then he turned around and he went back upstairs. He's forgotten something, didn't think much of it." "He came back down about 10 minutes later and he grabbed a guy that works with the team - Carlos. And you could see that Lewis was really quite emotional. And I was stood there and he said 'It's has only just occurred me that I'm never gonna see that room ever again' and he said 'I'm really emotional, it's like I can't leave, I feel kind of sad to walk away from that room because I been in that room for so many years and I'm never gonna see it again'. And he was really quite touched that he was leaving it behind." "Anyways, so off he went, I went back up to the room to pack his last few bits of driving kit and grab the helmets and everything." "I walked into the room and on the wall there's quite a long handwritten note. It was a note to Kimi. It was basically welcoming him to his new room and it was wishing him the best of luck, saying some really nice things about the team and how 'if you care for them, they'll care for you' because they're a great team. And I thought 'wow what a nice thing to do. Actually now we've had it glass cut so it'll be there forever." "I walked into the bathroom and next to the toilet, above the toilet roll holder was 'Lewis was here' with a big smiley face."
