Now that's SCIENCE!!!
The story of my jump from the Stratosphere!!!
When I was a little boy, my family and I would go and see the rockets take off at Nasa in Florida. Later, when I was a little older I worked at Disney to help pay for college. I ended up graduating from Central Florida with degrees in computer science.
During the beginning of my career, I worked for a start-up company in Silicon Valley. But, then 15 years later, I began to work for Google. Now, I am one of the Senior Vice Presidents for Google.
I had worked with many, wonderful people to create a suit in which I could survive in the Stratosphere. I had wanted my flight to be secret so it wasn't a big deal. They had to keep redesigning because the weather was going to affect me, if I didn't have the right protection. When, I began to drop I created a sonic BOOM that only the people down on Earth could hear.
My descent was about 15 minutes, with me traveling as fast as the speed of sound. A hot air balloon took me up for a 2 hour flight and it was a beautiful view. My total height recorded was 135,889,108 feet.
In the future, I think I will help other people make and design these suits and someday go back up into the Stratosphere. I would love to experience it again and go even higher. I would like many other people to enjoy the same experience as I did.
