I'm not one to pay attention to such things normally, but the repeat gender and stupidity references in this thread seem to jump out, encouraging a vague sense of disappointment, and leave me wondering how the comments would look if it had been a man setting the record. Is a 105 year old man riding a bicycle ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13327936 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13327936 ) or jumping from the stratosphere ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4652150 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4652150 ) less "stupid" or "dangerous", and inherently more "inspiring" or "incredible"? Is wearing a pressure suit somehow less "cheating"?
