Anyway, I watched the season Finale of Skins last night, it's a breakthrough of a show, no doubt about that.
During the funeral of one of the characters, a speech was said which i found to be pretty amazing, here it is;
Link to the actual thing.Captain Joe Cotinga. In 1960, climbing into a foil balloon, Captain Joe was sent 132 kilometers into the stratosphere and then, armed only with a parachute, he jumped out. He fell for four minutes thirty six seconds, reaching 714 miles per hour, before opening his parachute five kilometers above the earth. It had never been done before, and it's never been done since. He did it just because he could.
If some of you aren't familiar with the show, then you should search around for the episodes. 90% of you should know of it anyway.
It's a shame it's ended and a shame the next season is going to be utter bollucks.
Well,
