MIPBlog spoke to the record-breaking aerial expert, straight after what he called a « mind-blowing » MIPTV showcase, with Red Bull Media House’s Alexander Koppel.
He said he hopes his jump from the the edge of space « will inspire the next generation », but confirmed he would not seek to repeat the experience. « If you go faster, the next level is twice the speed of sound, and I want to leave that for the next generation. » We also asked how he didn’t pass out during his fall, given the rate at which he spun round in freefall. « We anticipated this was going to happen, so we had a rescue device, so I never had the impression I was going to die. I was always conscious. »
