Imagine this. You are falling at a rate over 2000 mph in an environment that should murder you on the spot. Hanging on to nothing but a tether on a metal can thatis falling at the same rate, which doesn’t fly through the air so much as just falls to the earth at a slower rate so you don’t die. Imagine that feeling, just hanging out, falling through the sky where only dozens of people in all of human existence has felt. That feeling, is it freedom? Or are you pissing your pants the entire time? Where I was going with this, I have no idea. But these are the ideas and feelings that are stirred up in me when I see these types of images. Thank you for your time.
