“I am impossibly, wonderfully alive.”
From the New York Times, A Supersonic Jump, From 23 Miles in the Air.
The quote in the title is from Jon Kittinger, a “spacediving” pioneer who lost consciousness during one incredible jump from 100,000 feet in 1959. (He made the poignant realization after awakening when his reserve chute opened a mile from earth.)
