Well, the posters had many good issues with the whole thing, including 'hardly first'. Though by the whole 'can you imagine if you got hit on the head by a cooler' thing and calculating the 'terminal velocity' was almost insulting. As if the terminal velocity at 18 mi is anything like that at landing, so velocity increased all the way through fall, and there was absolutely no possibility of this rig breaking up on the way down. *shrug* I give props to the 'kids', just none to Wired for posting it. Kinda dumb, actually. 'Oh, boy, they got a few piccies from space...' The_Beast
