I started skydiving because I loved the idea of freedom.
I have no privacy anymore.
As a little kid, I climbed a lot of trees because I always loved the bird's-eye view.
We want to push mankind's boundaries out a little further.
People are fascinated about the world above them because it seems so out-of-reach. My jump gave them an opportunity to come along for the ride. They could watch live on their screens how someone rises all the way up into the stratosphere.
I know the whole world is watching now. And I wish the world could see what I can see. Sometimes you have to get up really high to understand how small you really are. I'm going home now.
