21. listopada 2014. godine Alan Eustace je obukao posebno izrađeno, 227 kg teško, svemirsko odijelo, privezao se za meteorolški balon i uzdigao preko 41 km odakle je zaronio prema Zemlji, usput razbijajući zvučni zid i prethodne rekorde u skakanju sa velikih visinama. Poslušajte njegovu priču kako - i zašto.

Odrastao sam u Orlandu, Florida.
00:16
I was the son of an aerospace engineer.

Sin sam svemirskog inženjera.
00:19
I lived and breathed the Apollo program.

Živio sam i disao Apollo program.
00:22
We either saw the launches
from our backyard

or we saw it by driving
in the hour over to the Cape.

00:27
I was impressed by, obviously,
space and everything about it,

2858
Bio sam impresioniran, očito,
svemirom i svime vezanim uz njega,

00:30
but I was most impressed
by the engineering that went into it.

ali bio sam najviše impresioniran
inženjeringom koji je korišten.

00:34
Behind me you see an amazing view,
7
22720
2696
Iza mene vidite veličanstven pogled,
00:37
a picture that was taken
from the International Space Station,
from the International Space Station,
8
25440
3896
slika uslikana na Međunarodnoj
svemirskoj stanici
svemirskoj stanici
00:41
and it shows a portion of our planet
9
29360
2176
i prikazuje dio našeg planeta
00:43
that's rarely seen and rarely studied
10
31560
2416
koji se rijetko vidi i rijetko proučava
00:46
and almost never explored.
11
34000
2296
i skoro nikad ne istražuje.
00:48
That place is called the stratosphere.
12
36320
2536
To mjesto se naziva stratosfera.
00:50
If you start on the planet
and you go up and up and up,
and you go up and up and up,
13
38880
3136
Ako krenete sa planeta i idete
sve više i više i više,
sve više i više i više,
00:54
it gets colder and colder and colder,
14
42040
2576
postaje sve hladnije i hladnije i
hladnije,
hladnije,
00:56
until you reach the beginning
of the stratosphere,
of the stratosphere,
15
44640
2376
dok ne dostignete početak
stratosfere,
stratosfere,
00:59
and then an amazing thing happens.
16
47040
2616
i onda se dogodi nevjerojatna stvar.
01:01
It gets colder at a much slower rate,
and then it starts warming up,
and then it starts warming up,
17
49680
4016
Hlađenje se usporava,
i onda počinje zagrijavanje,
i onda počinje zagrijavanje,
01:05
and then it gets warmer and warmer
18
53720
1656
i postaje sve toplije i toplije
01:07
until the point where you can
almost survive without any protection,
almost survive without any protection,
19
55400
4936
do točke gdje je skoro nemoguće
preživjeti bez ikakve zaštite,
preživjeti bez ikakve zaštite,
01:12
about zero degrees,
20
60360
1816
približno nula stupnjeva,
01:14
and then you end up
getting colder and colder,
getting colder and colder,
21
62200
3295
i onda je opet sve hladnije i hladnije,
01:17
and that's the top of the stratosphere.
22
65519
2217
i to je vrh stratosfere.
01:19
It is one of the least accessible
places on our planet.
places on our planet.
23
67760
3936
To je jedno od najnedostupnijih
mjesta na našoj planeti.
mjesta na našoj planeti.
01:23
Most often, when it's visited,
24
71720
1736
Često, čak i kad se posjeti,
01:25
it's by astronauts
who are blazing up at it
who are blazing up at it
25
73480
3896
to su astronauti koji se goreći
uspinju
uspinju
01:29
at probably several times
the speed of sound,
the speed of sound,
26
77400
2856
brzinom nekoliko puta većom
od brzine zvuka,
od brzine zvuka,
01:32
and they get a few seconds on the way up,
27
80280
1976
i budu tamo samo par sekundi
prema gore
prema gore
01:34
and then they get this blazing
ball of fire coming back in,
ball of fire coming back in,
28
82280
4776
a onda opet na putu natrag postaju
goruća vatrena lopta,
goruća vatrena lopta,
01:39
on the way back in.
29
87080
1936
na putu prema dolje.
01:41
But the question I asked is, is it
possible to linger in the stratosphere?
possible to linger in the stratosphere?
30
89040
4296
Ali pitanje koje ja postavljam je, jel
se moguće zadržati u stratosferi?
se moguće zadržati u stratosferi?
01:45
Is it possible to experience
the stratosphere?
the stratosphere?
31
93360
2336
Jel moguće doživjeti
stratosferu?
stratosferu?
01:47
Is it possible to explore
the stratosphere?
the stratosphere?
32
95720
2520
Jel moguće istražiti stratosferu?
01:54
I studied this using
my favorite search engine
my favorite search engine
33
102640
2776
Proučavao sam to koristeći najdražu
tražilicu
tražilicu
01:57
for quite a while, about a year,
34
105440
3016
u razdoblju od godinu dana,
02:00
and then I made a scary phone call.
35
108480
3496
i onda sam obavio strašan poziv.
02:04
It was a reference from a friend of mine
to call Taber MacCallum
to call Taber MacCallum
36
112000
3696
Prema preporuci prijatelja da
nazovem Taber MacCallum
nazovem Taber MacCallum
02:07
from Paragon Space
Development Corporation,
Development Corporation,
37
115720
2736
iz korporacije za svemirski razvoj
Paragon,
Paragon,
02:10
and I asked him the question:
38
118480
1381
i postavio sam mu pitanje:
02:11
is it possible to build
39
119885
3360
jel moguće sagraditi
02:16
a system to go into the stratosphere?
40
124000
2136
sustav koji će otići u stratosferu?
02:18
And he said it was.
41
126160
1576
I on je rekao da je moguće.
02:19
And after a period of about three years,
we proceeded to do just that.
we proceeded to do just that.
42
127760
6696
I u razdoblju od tri godine,
smo nastavili raditi upravo to.
smo nastavili raditi upravo to.
02:26
And on October 24 of last year,
43
134480
2480
24. listopada prošle godine
02:29
in this suit,
44
137680
1200
u ovom odijelu,
02:31
I started on the ground,
45
139440
1400
sam krenio sa tla,
02:33
I went up in a balloon to 135,890 feet --
46
141720
6040
i otišao u balonu na visinu od
otprilike 42 kilometra --
otprilike 42 kilometra --
02:40
but who's counting?
47
148360
1216
no, tko broji?
02:41
(Laughter)
48
149600
2456
(Smijeh)
02:44
Came back to Earth
at speeds of up to 822 miles an hour.
at speeds of up to 822 miles an hour.
49
152080
4400
Vratio se na zemlju pri brzinama do
1323 km/h
1323 km/h
02:49
It was a four-minute
and 27-second descent.
and 27-second descent.
50
157800
3040
Silazak je trajao četiri minute
i 27 sekundi.
i 27 sekundi.
02:53
And when I got to 10,000 feet,
I opened a parachute and I landed.
I opened a parachute and I landed.
51
161600
4080
No kad sam stigao do 3048 metara,
otvorio sam padobran i sletio.
otvorio sam padobran i sletio.
02:58
(Applause)
52
166120
4560
(Pljesak)
03:06
But this is really a science talk,
and it's really an engineering talk,
and it's really an engineering talk,
53
174000
4056
No, ovo je ipak znanstveni govor,
i inženjerski govor,
i inženjerski govor,
03:10
and what was amazing to me
about that experience
about that experience
54
178080
2296
i ono što me zadivilo kod ovog
iskustva
iskustva
03:12
is that Taber said, yes, I think
we can build a stratospheric suit,
we can build a stratospheric suit,
55
180400
4656
je to što je Taber rekao da, mislim
da možemo izraditi stratosferno odijelo,
da možemo izraditi stratosferno odijelo,
03:17
and more than that, come down tomorrow
56
185080
2616
i više od toga, dođi sutra ovdje
03:19
and let's talk to the team
that formed the core of the group
that formed the core of the group
57
187720
3136
i razgovarajmo sa timom
koji čini jezgru grupe koja ga je
koji čini jezgru grupe koja ga je
03:22
that actually built it.
58
190880
1200
zaista i izradila.
03:24
And they did something
which I think is important,
which I think is important,
59
192400
4336
Učinili su nešto što ja mislim
da je važno,
da je važno,
03:28
which is they took
the analogy of scuba diving.
the analogy of scuba diving.
60
196760
3336
a to je da su uzeli analogiju
ronjenja.
ronjenja.
03:32
So in scuba diving,
61
200120
1696
Pri ronjenju,
03:33
you have a self-contained system.
62
201840
1816
imate samoodrživi sustav.
03:35
You have everything
that you could ever need.
that you could ever need.
63
203680
2336
Imate sve što bi vam ikad
zatrebalo.
zatrebalo.
03:38
You have a scuba tank.
64
206040
2040
Imate ronilački spremnik.
03:40
You have a wetsuit.
65
208480
2656
Imate odijelo.
03:43
You have visibility.
66
211160
1736
Imate vidljivost.
03:44
And that scuba is exactly this system,
67
212920
2736
A to odijelo je upravo taj sustav,
03:47
and we're going to launch it
into the stratosphere.
into the stratosphere.
68
215680
2440
i mi ćemo ga lansirati u stratosferu.
03:50
Three years later, this is what we have.
69
218920
2160
Tri godine kasnije, ovo je ono što
imamo.
imamo.
03:54
We've got an amazing suit
that was made by ILC Dover.
that was made by ILC Dover.
70
222160
4696
Imamo nevjerojatno odijelo
koje je napravio ILC Dover.
koje je napravio ILC Dover.
03:58
ILC Dover was the company
that made all of the Apollo suits
that made all of the Apollo suits
71
226880
3456
ILC Dover je tvrtka koja je napravila
Apollo odijela
Apollo odijela
04:02
and all of the extravehicular
activity suits.
activity suits.
72
230360
2416
i sva odijela za aktivnosti izvan vozila.
04:04
They had never sold a suit commercially,
73
232800
3256
Nikad nisu komercijalno prodavali
odijela,
odijela,
04:08
only to the government,
74
236080
1576
samo vladi,
04:09
but they sold one to me,
which I am very grateful for.
which I am very grateful for.
75
237680
3616
ali su meni prodali jedno,
na čemu sam veoma zahvalan.
na čemu sam veoma zahvalan.
04:13
Up here we have a parachute.
This was all about safety.
This was all about safety.
76
241320
3160
Ovdje gore imamo padobran.
Sve je u sigurnosti.
Sve je u sigurnosti.
04:17
Everyone on the team knew
77
245240
4816
Svi u timu su znali
04:22
that I have a wife
and two small children --
and two small children --
78
250080
2736
da imam ženu i
dvoje male djece --
dvoje male djece --
04:24
10 and 15 --
79
252840
2576
10 i 15 --
04:27
and I wanted to come back safely.
80
255440
2055
i da se želim sigurno vratiti kući.
04:29
So there's a main parachute
and a reserve parachute,
and a reserve parachute,
81
257519
2430
Tako da imamo glavni padobran
i rezervni padobran,
i rezervni padobran,
04:31
and if I do nothing,
82
259973
1200
i ako ništa ne napravim,
04:33
the reserve parachute is going to open
because of an automatic opening device.
because of an automatic opening device.
83
261760
3667
rezervni padobran će se otvoriti
putem automatskog uređaja za otvaranje.
putem automatskog uređaja za otvaranje.
04:38
The suit itself
can protect me from the cold.
can protect me from the cold.
84
266160
2136
Samo odijelo me može zaštititi
od hladnoće.
od hladnoće.
04:40
This area in the front here
has thermal protection.
has thermal protection.
85
268320
2936
Ovo područje ovdje ispred
ima toplinsku zaštitu.
ima toplinsku zaštitu.
04:43
It will actually heat water
that will wrap around my body.
that will wrap around my body.
86
271280
3176
Zapravo grije vodu koja
uokviruje moje tijelo.
uokviruje moje tijelo.
04:46
It has two redundant oxygen tanks.
87
274480
2456
Ima dva rezervna spremnika sa kisikom.
04:48
Even if I was to get
a quarter-inch hole in this suit,
a quarter-inch hole in this suit,
88
276960
3056
Kad bi se pojavila rupa od
6 mm u ovom odijelu,
6 mm u ovom odijelu,
04:52
which is extremely unlikely,
89
280040
2576
što je krajnje nevjerojatno,
04:54
this system would still protect me
from the low pressure of space.
from the low pressure of space.
90
282640
3800
ovaj sustav će me i dalje zaštiti
od niskog tlaka svemira.
od niskog tlaka svemira.
04:59
The main advantage of this system
is weight and complexity.
is weight and complexity.
91
287320
3656
Glavna prednost ovog sustava je
težina i složenost.
težina i složenost.
05:03
So the system weighs about 500 pounds,
92
291000
2976
Sustav teži oko 272 kg,
05:06
and if you compare it to the other attempt
recently to go up in the stratosphere,
recently to go up in the stratosphere,
93
294000
3816
i ako usporedite sa ostalim nedavnim
pokušajima odlaska u stratosferu,
pokušajima odlaska u stratosferu,
05:09
they used a capsule.
94
297840
1256
oni su koristili kapsule.
05:11
And to do a capsule, there's an amazing
amount of complexity that goes into it,
amount of complexity that goes into it,
95
299120
3976
A sa kapsulama postoji nevjerojatna
količina složenosti,
količina složenosti,
05:15
and it weighed about 3,000 pounds,
96
303120
1936
i teži 1360 kg,
05:17
and to raise 3,000 pounds
to an altitude of 135,000 feet,
to an altitude of 135,000 feet,
97
305080
4696
a da bi se 1360 kg podiglo na
visinu od 42 km,
visinu od 42 km,
05:21
which was my target altitude,
98
309800
2136
što je moja ciljana visina,
05:23
it would have taken a balloon
that was 45 to 50 million cubic feet.
that was 45 to 50 million cubic feet.
99
311960
5160
bio bi potreban balon od 1.27
do 1.41 milijuna kubnih metara.
do 1.41 milijuna kubnih metara.
05:30
Because I only weighed
500 pounds in this system,
500 pounds in this system,
100
318840
3336
Ja težim samo 226.79 kg
u ovom sustavu,
u ovom sustavu,
05:34
we could do it with a balloon
that was five times smaller than that,
that was five times smaller than that,
101
322200
3216
pa je moguće koristiti balon koji
je pet puta manji od toga,
je pet puta manji od toga,
05:37
and that allowed us to use a launch system
that was dramatically simpler
that was dramatically simpler
102
325440
4416
i dopušta nam da lansiramo sustav koji je
značajno jednostavniji
značajno jednostavniji
05:41
than what needs to be done
for a much larger balloon.
for a much larger balloon.
103
329880
2640
nego kod znatno većeg balona.
05:45
So with that, I want to take you
to Roswell, New Mexico, on October 24.
to Roswell, New Mexico, on October 24.
104
333480
4656
Zatim, idemo do Roswella,
New Mexico, 24. listopad.
New Mexico, 24. listopad.
05:50
We had an amazing team
that got up in the middle of the night.
that got up in the middle of the night.
105
338160
3696
Imali smo nevjerojatan tim
koji se ustao usred noći.
koji se ustao usred noći.
05:53
And here's the suit.
106
341880
2576
A evo i odijela.
05:56
Again, this is using the front loader
that you'll see in a second,
that you'll see in a second,
107
344480
3136
Koristeći prednji utovarivač,
koji ćete vidjeti za sekundu,
koji ćete vidjeti za sekundu,
05:59
and I want to play you a video
of the actual launch.
of the actual launch.
108
347640
3216
i želim vam i pokazati video
stvarnog lansiranja.
stvarnog lansiranja.
06:02
Roswell's a great place
to launch balloons,
to launch balloons,
109
350880
2016
Roswell je odlično mjesto
za lansiranje balona,
za lansiranje balona,
06:04
but it's a fantastic place
to land under a parachute,
to land under a parachute,
110
352920
3176
i fantastično mjesto
za slijetanje padobranom,
za slijetanje padobranom,
06:08
especially when you're going to land
70 miles away from the place you started.
70 miles away from the place you started.
111
356120
4400
posebno kad slijećete s udaljenosti od
113 km od starta.
113 km od starta.
06:13
That's a helium truck in the background.
112
361640
2040
Ovo je kamion s helijem u pozadini
06:16
It's darkness.
113
364360
1256
Tama je.
06:17
I've already spent about an hour
and a half pre-breathing.
and a half pre-breathing.
114

And then here you see the suit going on.
115
368880

A ovdje vidite odijevanje odijela.
06:24
It takes about an hour to get the suit on.

Potrebno je sat vremena

06:58
That's me waving with my left hand.
125
406240
1696
Ovo ja mašem lijevom rukom.
06:59
The reason I'm waving with my left hand
126
407960
2056
Razlog zašto mašem sa lijevom rukom
07:02
is because on the right hand
is the emergency cutaway.

127
410040

So the trip up is beautiful.
It's kind of like Google Earth in reverse.

07:22
I was mostly trying to relax.
134
430360

Većinom sam se trudio opustiti.
07:25
My heart rate was very low
135

Puls mi je bio vrlo nizak
07:27
and I was trying not to use
very much oxygen.

i možete me vidjeti kako idem
sve više i više.

07:38
It's interesting here,
because if you look,

than anybody else
had ever gone in a balloon,

145
463200
2216
nego itko ikad u balonu,
07:57
and I was about 4,000 feet from release.
146
465440
3680
i bio sam 1.2 km od puštanja.
08:01
This is what it looks like.
147
469680

You can see the darkness of space,

Ako nešto pođe po krivu
želim biti spreman.
želim biti spreman.
08:26
And the main thing that I want to do here
152
494680
2176
A glavna stvar koju ovdje želim napraviti
08:28
is to have a release and fall
and stay completely stable.

153

je pustiti i padati i

And there you can see a drogue parachute,
which I'll demonstrate in just a second,

A ovdje možete vidjeti konusni padobran,

09:08
because that's really important.
158

There's the balloon
going by a second time.

Right now, I'm about
at the speed of sound.

Upravo idem brzinom zvuka.
09:24
There's nothing for me to tell
it's the speed of sound,

161
552640
2720
Po ničemu ne mogu znati da je
brzina zvuka u pitanju,

09:27
and very soon I will actually be
as fast as I ever get,
as fast as I ever get,
162
555880

i ubrzo ću postići najveću brzinu,
09:31
822 miles an hour.

(Video) Izgubili smo podatke.
09:54
AE: So now I'm down low right now
165
582960
1616
AE: Upravo sam dolje
09:56
and you can basically see
the parachute come out right there.
the parachute come out right there.
166
584600
5296
i možete vidjeti aktiviranje
padobrana.
padobrana.
10:01
At this point, I'm very happy
that there's a parachute out.
that there's a parachute out.
167
589920
2762
U ovom trenutku sam veoma sretan
što je padobran vani.
što je padobran vani.
10:05
I thought I was the only one happy,
168
593789
1667
Mislio sam da sam jedini sretan,
10:07
but it turns out mission control
was really happy as well.
was really happy as well.
169
595480
3336
ali ispada da je i kontrola
veoma sretna isto.
veoma sretna isto.
10:10
The really nice thing about this
is the moment I opened --
is the moment I opened --
170
598840
3096
Lijepa stvar je što sam
u trenutku otvaranja padobrana --
u trenutku otvaranja padobrana --
10:13
I had a close of friend of mine,
Blikkies, my parachute guy.
Blikkies, my parachute guy.
171
601960
3376
imao vrlo bliskog prijatelja,
Blikkies, mog tipa za padobrane.
Blikkies, mog tipa za padobrane.
10:17
He flew in another airplane,
and he actually jumped out

172
605360

Letio je drugim avionom,
i zaista iskočio van

10:20
and landed right next to me.
173
608320
1976
i sletio pored mene.
10:22
He was my wingman on the descent.
174
610320
3256
Bio mi je pomoćnik pri silasku.
10:25
This is my landing, but it's probably more
properly called a crash.
properly called a crash.
175
613600
5216
Ovo je moje slijetanje ili bolje rečeno
tresak.
tresak.
10:30
(Laughter)
176
618840
4216
(Smijeh)
10:35
I hate to admit it, but this wasn't
even close to my worst landing.
even close to my worst landing.
177
623080
3456
Mrzim što moram priznati, ali ovo nije
ni približno moje najgore slijetanje.
ni približno moje najgore slijetanje.
10:38
(Laughter)
178
626560
2856
(Smijeh)
10:41

179
629440
5320
(Pljesak)
11:00
(Video) Man: How are you doing?
180
648160
1496
(Video) Kako si?
11:01
AE: Hi there!
181
649680
1280
AE: Hej tamo!
11:07
Yay.
182
655280
1216
Jej!
11:08
(Laughter)
183
656520
2296
(Smijeh)
11:10
So I want to tell you one thing
184
658840
1496
Želim vam reći još nešto
11:12
that you might not have seen
in that video,
in that video,
185
660360
2296
što možda niste vidjeli u
ovom videu,
ovom videu,
11:14
but one of the most critical parts
of the entire thing was the release
of the entire thing was the release
186
662680
3856
ali najkritičniji dio
cijelog poduhvata je bilo puštanje
cijelog poduhvata je bilo puštanje
11:18
and what happens right after you release.
187
666560
2856
i što se dogodi kad se pustite.
11:21
And what we tried to do was use
something called a drogue parachute,
something called a drogue parachute,
188
669440
4296
Mi smo pokušali koristi nešto što se
zove konusni padobran,
zove konusni padobran,
11:25
and a drogue parachute
was there to stabilize me.
was there to stabilize me.
189
673760
2696
a on je bio potreban da me
stabilizira.
stabilizira.
11:28
And I'll show you one of those right now.
190
676480
2056
Pokazat ću vam jedan od tih padobrana sad.
11:30
If any of you have ever
gone tandem skydiving,
gone tandem skydiving,
191
678560
2640
Ako ste ikad probali zajedničko
skakanje padobranom,
skakanje padobranom,
11:34
you probably used one of these.
192
682120
1520
vjerojatno ste koristili jedan ovakav.
11:38
But the problem with one of these things
193
686200
1936
Ali problem sa njima je
11:40
is right when you release,
you're in zero gravity.
you're in zero gravity.
194
688160
2936
da ste u trenutku puštanja
u stanju nulte gravitacije.
u stanju nulte gravitacije.
11:43
So it's very easy for this
to just turn right around you.
to just turn right around you.
195
691120
3616
Tako da je vrlo lako da se omota
oko vas.
oko vas.
11:46
And before you know it,
you can be tangled up or spinning,
you can be tangled up or spinning,
196
694760
3280
I prije nego što se snađete,
možete se zapetljati i zavrtjeti,
možete se zapetljati i zavrtjeti,
11:51
or you can release this drogue late,
197
699320
2656
ili možete zakasniti sa otvaranjem
ovog padobrana,
ovog padobrana,
11:54
in which case what happens
is you're going down at 800 miles an hour,
is you're going down at 800 miles an hour,
198
702000
4056
u tom slučaju idete dolje
1290 km/h,
1290 km/h,
11:58
and this thing is going to destroy itself
199
706080
2496
i ovo će se uništiti
12:00
and not be very useful.
200
708600
1200
i neće više biti korisno.
12:03
But the guys at United Parachute
Technologies came up with this idea,
Technologies came up with this idea,
201
711400
4296
Ali su momci u Ujedinjenim padobranskim
tehnologijama došli na ovu ideju,
tehnologijama došli na ovu ideju,
12:07
and it was a roll that looks like that,
202
715720
1936
a to je ovakav svitak,
12:09
but watch what happens when I pull it out.
203
717680
2680
pogledajte što se događa kad
ga izvadim.
ga izvadim.
12:13
It's forming a pipe.
204
721560
1600
Tvori cijev.
12:16
This pipe is so solid
205
724680
2200
Ova cijev je toliko čvrsta
12:20
that you can take this drogue parachute
and wrap it around,
and wrap it around,
206
728360
3776
da možete uzeti padobran i
omotati ga okolo,
omotati ga okolo,
12:24
and there's no way
it will ever tangle with you.
it will ever tangle with you.
207
732160
2320
i nema šanse da ćete se
zapetljati.
zapetljati.
12:27
And that prevented
a very serious potential problem.
a very serious potential problem.
208
735680
3240
A to je spriječilo veoma
ozbiljan potencijalni problem.
ozbiljan potencijalni problem.
12:31
So nothing is possible
without an amazing team of people.
without an amazing team of people.
209
739560
2936
Ništa nije moguće bez
nevjerojatnog tima ljudi.
nevjerojatnog tima ljudi.
12:34
The core of this was about 20 people
210
742520
2456
Jezgru ovog poduhvata je činilo
oko 20 ljudi
oko 20 ljudi
12:37
that worked on this for the three years,
211
745000
2096
koji su radili na ovome tri godine,
12:39
and they were incredible.
212
747120
1616
i bili su veličanstveni.
12:40
People asked me what the best part
of this whole thing was,
of this whole thing was,
213
748760
2776
Ljudi me pitaju koji je bio najbolji dio
cijele ove stvari,
cijele ove stvari,
12:43
and it was a chance
to work with the best experts
to work with the best experts
214
751560
2456
to je bila prilika za rad sa
najboljim stručnjacima
najboljim stručnjacima
12:46
in meteorology and ballooning
and parachute technology
and parachute technology
215
754040

12:55
It was fantastic. It's an engineer's dream
to work with that group of people.
to work with that group of people.
217
763160
4136
Bilo je fantastično. Inženjerov san je da
radi sa takvom grupom ljudi.
radi sa takvom grupom ljudi.
12:59
And I also at the same time
wanted to thank my friends at Google,
wanted to thank my friends at Google,
218
767320
3256
Želio bih zahvaliti i prijateljima u
Googleu,
Googleu,
13:02
both for supporting me during this effort
219
770600
2856
za potporu tijekom ovog poduhvata
13:05
and also covering for me
in the times that I was away.
in the times that I was away.
220
773480
3296
i što su me pokrivali dok me nije bilo.
13:08
But there's one other group
I wanted to thank, and that's my family.
I wanted to thank, and that's my family.
221
776800
3296
Postoji još jedna grupa ljudi kojoj
želim zahvaliti, to je moja obitelj.
želim zahvaliti, to je moja obitelj.
13:12
Yay.

780120
1216
Jej.
13:13
(Applause)
223
781360
6216
(Pljesak)
13:19
I would constantly give them speeches
about the safety of technology,
about the safety of technology,
224
787600
3696
Konstantno sam im držao govore o
sigurnosti tehnologije,
sigurnosti tehnologije,
13:23
and they weren't hearing any of it.
225
791320
2200
a oni ne bi čuli ništa.
13:27
It was super hard on them,
226
795080
1376
Bilo im je jako teško,
13:28
and the only reason
that my wife put up with it
that my wife put up with it
227
796480
2576
i jedini razlog zašto mi je žena trpila
sve ovo
sve ovo
13:31
was because I came back incredibly happy
after each of the 250 tests,
after each of the 250 tests,
228
799080
5496
je što bih se vratio nevjerojatno sretan
nakon svakog od 250 testova,
nakon svakog od 250 testova,
13:36
and she didn't want
to take that away from me.
to take that away from me.
229
804600
2176
nije mi htjela to oduzeti.
13:38
So I want to close with a story.
230
806800
1776
Želim završiti sa pričom.
13:40
My daughter Katelyn, my 15-year-old,
she and I were in the car,

vozili smo niz cestu,
i ona je sjedila tamo,
i ona je sjedila tamo,
13:48
and she had this idea, and she goes,
"Dad, I've got this idea."
"Dad, I've got this idea."
233

i dobila ideju, pa je rekla,
"Tata, imam ideju."
"Tata, imam ideju."
13:52
And so I listened to her idea
and I said, "Katelyn, that's impossible."
and I said, "Katelyn, that's impossible."
234

Poslušao sam njenu ideju i rekao:
"Katelyn, to je nemoguće."
"Katelyn, to je nemoguće."
13:57
And she looks at me

A ona me pogleda
13:58

i kaže, "Tata,
nakon ovog što si upravo napravio,
nakon ovog što si upravo napravio,
14:02
how can you call anything impossible?"
237
830320
2400
kako možeš išta nazvati nemogućim?"
14:05
And I laughed, and I said,
"OK, it's not impossible,
"OK, it's not impossible,
238
833760
3256
Nasmijao sam se, i rekao,
"OK, nije nemoguće,
"OK, nije nemoguće,
14:09
it's just very, very hard."
239
837040
2400

14:12
And then I paused for a second,
and I said, "Katelyn,

Onda sam pauzirao na trenutak, i rekao,
"Katelyn,
"Katelyn,
14:15
it may not be impossible,
it may not even be very, very hard,
it may not even be very, very hard,
241
843760
3736
ne mora biti nemoguće,
čak ni vrlo, vrlo teško,
čak ni vrlo, vrlo teško,
14:19
it's just that I don't know how to do it."

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Alan Eustace - Stratospheric explorerAlan Eustace leapt to Earth from the edge of the stratosphere wearing only a spacesuit, shattering skydiving records and potentially revolutionizing the commercial space industry.
Why you should listen
Two years after Felix Baumgartner jumped from a capsule in the stratosphere for Red Bull, a quiet group led by now-retired Google exec Alan Eustace beat the height record -- without a capsule. (Neither livestreamed nor promoted, the jump record was announced the next day.) In a custom 500-pound spacesuit, Eustace was strapped to a weather balloon, and rose to a height of over 135,000 feet, where he dove to Earth at speeds exceeding 821 mph -- breaking both the sound barrier and previous records for high-altitude jumps.
Leading up to this jump, Eustace and his partners in StratEx had spent years solving a key problem of stratosphere exploration: returning human beings to Earth from the edge of space using minimal life-support systems. In the process, they’ve opened the door to cheaper and safer near-space travel.
