    exactly.....maybe its the thin air

    actually,he was the first ever to reach the speed of sound and actually surpass it without the use of any type of machine or aircraft.i've done a few halo-jumps back in the navy,but this goes waaaaay past anything i have ever done as far as parachuting or skydiving.still an awesome video andeven more awesome person.

    first man in space and first to go faster than the speed of sound naturally.
