Something somewhere isn't right. From what I can find (with admittedly limited research):
Drop height:
Baumgartner:128,100 ft.
Kittinger: 102,600 ft.
Chute Open:
Baumgartner:8,254 ft.
Kittinger: 18-20,000 ft.
Freefall distance:
Baumgartner:119,846 ft.
Kittinger: 84-86,600 ft.
So if Baumgartner had a longer distance free fall, how did Kittinger free fall for a longer time?
