Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Aaron what was the jump in aid of all i heard was it was to test new space age suits Overall, it was a run to examine the survivability of a 'ditch' from a re-entering space craft at that altitude. So essentially what you had heard. Alot of variables that would've had to be added into it ,too., but it's a start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hutch6 550 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Overall, it was a run to examine the survivability of a 'ditch' from a re-entering space craft at that altitude. So essentially what you had heard. Alot of variables that would've had to be added into it ,too., but it's a start. Because a nice dangle below a balloon as it gently glides upwards at about 30ft/sec is a very similar scenario as a space craft blazing up as it hits the atmosphere at over 1000 miles an hour with red hot metal things peeling off it and racing passed your head when you manage to get out, meanwhile there you are stumbling to the exit through blind panic and then there are the G forces that may restrict your ability to wind the window down if the door handle doesn't work. I can see the logic in the test they did for sure If you do manage to make it out in one piece then you are free falling alongside or behind a slowly exploding aeroplane twyp object with large pieces of shrapnel to avoid so I hope the suits are up to the impact of sheets of metal twatting into you at high speed too.
