Steve Truglia, we salute you (you can have a 'rock' after you've landed safely!).
It will be a shame to see Joseph Kittinger Jr's 1960 record of 102,800 feet to be beaten after all these years, though.
On a pedantic note, cracking the 770 mph sound barrier might be a tad easier up there - the speed of sound is slower where the atmostphere is thinner.

'Plummets'. That's the word they are avoiding.
