Can anyone help me transcribe the altitude, time, and velocity data from the bbc coverage of this jump? I'm planning on creating an animated JavaScript infographic using d3. I'm starting at the top of his jump and planning on trying to sample at 5 sec intervals by pausing the video and writing down the data. If anyone wants to start at the bottom of the freefall and work up, that would be great. My main goal is to get the freefall data -- after the chute deploys is not as important. I'll post it here as csv once its transcribed. EDIT: This is taking forever; I'm going to use Mechanical Turk. I'll post here when done.

This is what was produced by mechanical Turk, so I can't completely vouch for its accuracy. However, I think it's probably pretty correct. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of data points available from the video transmission during the ~4:00 jump. https://gist.github.com/3896312 https://gist.github.com/3896312

  In the unlikely event that anyone checks back, I'm holding off on making the visualization until the Felix Baumgartner team (hopefully) releases the official data, which would ideally include his vitals during the jump. There just aren't enough data points here to make an interesting visualization. I could extrapolate everything, but that's not the kind of visualization I have in mind. So I'll cross my fingers and hope the team releases the data in the coming days.
