Joe Kittinger Quote26 September 2000·73 words·1 minAuthorloothiA/s/l/g “At zero count I step into space. No wind whistles or billows on my clothing. I have absolutely no sensation of the increasing speed with which I fall. I drop facing the clouds. Then I roll over on my back and find an eerie sight. The white balloon contrasts starkly with a sky as black as night, though it is 7:12 in the morning and I am bathed in sunshine.”- Joe Kittinger
