He was not in freefall as long as Kittenger but obviously jumped from higher, so I am assuming when we saw his parachute deploying it was an automatic safety feature to ensure he slowed down in time or something?

God I was really nervous for him once that door opened. I don't know how he didn't shit his pants when he stepped out onto that step.
Sucks that he didn't get the longest free fall, but I'm glad that he broke other records.
Just a dude in blue.

Amazing and he had all these beautiful lines at the press conference, seemed so humble if a bit overly rehearsed.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
