Red Bull Stratos - a jump from 120,000 feet above earth

I would think it was too thin or he never would have been able to achieve such speed.
I was watching the airspeed/mach indication and after a few seconds of the highest mach reading his speed started dropping rapidly. It would have been interesting if they had been recording the audio and the boom was evident or not. I know the shock wave would have been dependent on air density.
Notice that when he first bailed there was no wind sound and his suit was not flapping? As he fell into thicker air the sound picked up and the material on his suit began to flap.
My audio was muted! I listened to it several times and if there was a sonic boom it must not have had enough atmosphere to make a sonic boom.

I find it interesting that they are using the information gained from these jumps to someday enable emergency bailouts form a space craft.
This is the previous record holder, and the voice from the ground control for the new record jump.
