I think it's just the heating for the helmet visor but to be honest it looks as if it still is staying clear, I don't see it being a mission abort.

Yep, he's jumping

So, by my maths, he gets the world record for highest and fastest jump, but not the speed of sound and not the longest freefall. Either way, hopefully the data might prove helpful to someone

I read on the internet this jump was done before...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kittinger

and mostly it was a PR stunt for Redbull...

The Kittinger jump was a bigger deal because nobody had ever jumped before from so high... and according to some things I read about about the red bull jumper he has jumped in riskier sitiuations before... "This was a piece of cake"...
