Today, my college class was talking about Felix Baumgartner, who jumped from the edge of space down to earth. A boy suddenly put his head up and said in a serious tone, "I thought he jumped from the moon?" Several girls concurred. This is my generation. FML

It seems they don't understand the gravity of the situation.

53- the news always says "edge of space".

deBlobX 12

It doesn't matter what the news says, 53 is right. The stratosphere extends to about 50 kilometres above ground. The exosphere (exiting the atmosphere), thins out into outer space at about 1800 kilometres above ground. He was about 1750km off the edge of space...ALMOST THERE

134 - He rode a flying dragon AROUND the moon and then jumped from the Death Star to Earth. And sure, it was book.

I too feel sorry for humanity and I question our ability to survive. There should be mandatory IQ and commonsense testing before people ate allowed to reproduce

I must ask -134 do you live under a rock? It's only been on every social networking site media etc... Ohhh this generation

Nanall 15

Maybe 134 does not have any social media network. Good thing too, anyway just to make it short 134, he's a real guy who skydives, and he holds the record for highest skydive. And next time you can always just google it. The more you know, the more you know.

153, Not everyone depends on social media =/. Since when do we judge humanity on their knowledge of semi-cool but ultimately pointless and trivial events?? Next time someone doesn't know that Eric "The Storage Container" Smith just ate a 25lb cheeseburger in an hour, I'll swear humanity is going straight downhill.

I had to Google this person, but even before that, logic tells me jumping from the moon is impossible to survive as the atmosphere would burn him... smh that's just sad...

^If you tried to jump from the moon to earth, you would land back on the moon.

When he jumped it wasn't really from the edge of space either. The atmosphere is thicker then how high he was.

Well, when you use 'then', it isn't actually 'than' either.

I don't usually comment, but wow. Just wow. The atmosphere would absolutely not be the problem with jumping from the moon.

The lack of pressure in space would implode him first( he goes fat then pops). It's also humanly impossible to jump that far even on the moon

Are you ******* kidding me? Other planets and moons have gravity. The moon just has less gravity than earth. Jesus.

I'm curious how many people thumbed this comment for the sake of it sounds smart so they can jump on the band wagon vs how many people actually understand it in regards to the FML.

mario2012 18

They were thumbing it up because of the funny pun.

You think only 'smart' people would understand the pun about gravity in relation to the FML? You don't think very highly of people do you?

Since we're talking about space and who is "stupider"; Girls go to Jupiter to get more stupider, boys go to Mars to get more smart ;)

If it takes around 32 hours to complete a 4,000 mile dive imagine a 240,000 mile dive. If i did my math correctly, it would take over 80 days. Damn. Edit: I didn't plug in 32ft/s/s so I'm not sure.

Brains beats beauty when it comes to common sense, such as this FML. Most pretty girls get thru life by solely their looks. One day, they wake up, realize their man has traded them in for a much younger, prettier girl than her and that once-upon-a-time-very-pretty-girl is just an old hag now.
