On: Red Bull Stratos Skydive Rescheduled for today

[lifeformed]

At first glance, skydiving from 10k feet and 100k feet seem like they wouldn't be any different. I'm sure there are intricacies that make the jump very difficult, but it seems like you just let gravity do the work, and the chute automatically deploys for you. Can anyone help me understand what the intricacies are?

EDIT: nevermind, seeing him spin but regain control removed my doubt of the difficulty.

Air temperature and pressure are much different at the higher altitude.

Is that a diver challenge or a suit challenge?
