Google beat skydiving record
 

Alan Eustace, an executive from Google began his free fall from 130,000ft hit 822 mph.

Possible advertising for their wifi from the sky

They kept that quiet, not seen anything about it anywhere

Low key event only came across it in another news link. Obviously some ideas(drogue parachute) were adopted to maintain stability whilst in freefall, Baumgartner dangerously suffered from instability.

He works at Google. Pretty sure that's the extent of their involvement.

57 yo senior google executive. Maybe it was a private venture. Publicity is publicity :)

Awesome! :cool:
