    Wow, must take some balls to stand on the edge of a mountain and just launch yourself off. I'd imagine if I were doing it, it would be almost impossible to resist the urge to try and flap my wings, lol, Splat!

    Need one that makes you look like Batman though...

    Wonder what their minimum angle of fall is? At times it looks light they're only dropping at something like 25 degrees! Amazing!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
