We love the web.
I recently stumbled across a video for Dayvan Cowboy by Scottish ambient rockers Boards of Canada. The video includes some archival footage of Joseph Kittinger’s 1960 skydive from just outside the Earth’s atmosphere. One can only imagine that as he reached terminal velocity hurtling through space the same thoughts were racing through his head as those that often race through the heads of people listening to Boards of Canada.

thats not very cool….thats very F-ing cool…i cant believe he could sky dive from that altitude
The scary part was that he passed out during the fall but luckily the automatic parachute worked. That seems like the scariest thing that you could possibly do.
he passed out…that sucks…what kind of thrill is that
