hey there, say all...


interesting shares, on various thoughts, as to how this affects us, as
we all 'ponder' the aspects of BASE/proxy... from climbski2, and from donini...and from BASE 104...

thank you all, plus others... for sharing all this...
i wanted to understand, better, too... thank you all...

Yeah, thanks. I haven't heard Jean's voice in 20 years. Her voice has aged. I remember her when she was pretty young.

Anyway, somebody finally got the story right, and used Carl's footage.

Franz Reichelt was the first person to attempt a parachute jump from a fixed point. (The Eiffel Tower)
Adding other things doesn't make you first.

So if I launch myself with a trebuchet over a shark tank, and parachute into a bucket of komodo dragon semen while wearing a wedding dress, does that mean some guy is going to add to that, and claim he was first?

There is no end to this insanity.
