I believe it's been said that Joes drogue deployed on exit instead of a few seconds later as was planned.

That spin was pretty terrifying to watch, looks during the worst of it he was on his back. Fantastic situational awareness to get it under control.

I hope Red Bull eventually releases a Spacecraft Films-type DVD where we can watch all of the camera angles. I'd love to see the whole jump from that chest cam.

I was hoping the same thing and also that someone was filming from the meeting where somone stood up and said 'I've got a hell of an idea!!' and follow the whole process including design, development, mistakes goofups, etc. etc.
