Well, the posters had many good issues with the whole thing, including
'hardly first'. Though by the whole 'can you imagine if you got hit on
the
head by a cooler' thing and calculating the 'terminal velocity' was
almost
insulting. As if the terminal velocity at 18 mi is anything like that at
landing, so velocity increased all the way through fall, and there was
absolutely no possibility of this rig breaking up on the way down.
*shrug*
I give props to the 'kids', just none to Wired for posting it. Kinda
dumb,
actually. 'Oh, boy, they got a few piccies from space...'
