November 5, 201213 yr It is worth watching, even for the sweet old man who did a similar feat earlier and mentored him. I think it's him who made me cry. how old was he, and his wife? they didn't look old enough for him to have done that jump 50 years ago, he looked 30+ when he did it - bumgardner is over 40, I doubt it's a young mans game

Anyhow, wiki says Colonel Joseph William Kittinger II (born July 27, 1928 in Tampa, Florida, United States) So that'll make him 84. Top man!
November 5, 201213 yr Was a great watch. The emergency code word "Phil check your monitor" that meant they cut the tv feeds from the control room. Explains why I couldn't see it when I logged on to the website live.
