Oh God, I so want to do this. Can you imagine skydiving from orbit? I've actually had a recurring dream about this for years.
Do you want to know more?

Its not possible to skydive from space, one, you would get burnt to crap, 2 you would be under so much pressure you would be crushed and 3, well, youd probably die as the oxygen gets sucked from your lungs
So what are you saying that video is a fake or the claim at the start of the thread is bollocks?
Also you wouldn't be crushed from all the pressure as space is the total opposite, there is no pressure in a vacuum.
Fantastic vid Phazey. Anyone know what the music is playing over it?
