With all the tech they have nowadays I'd say he was less of badass than they guy who did ~75000 feet in 1959  |

Just watched a documentary on him on BBC2 called 'Space Dive'.
The guy is a legend.
He trained for it for three years or so. He had a few problems here and there with his suit etc, also he was spinning on the way down and lost control for a while but regained his balance so he could get his chute open.
Also his visor fogged up on the way down, and he couldn't see anything for a few moments! Amazing achievement.
