The successful return - little surprise as all things going up must come
down - to Earth for the thrill-seeking daredeviltry cannot obscure the fact that
people close to him have been put through hell for the six minute adventure. It
is difficult to fathom the sense and purpose of the jump from 24 miles (128,000 feet), the
beautiful view of the Earth's curvature aside.
We fell far short of the insane boldness displayed over the New Mexico
desert: our knees buckled at the foot of The Eye today.
