The Dragon launch was very impressive but that was essentially a private company finally doing what NASA (and others) had already done. Impressive? No doubt. The jump today involved a number of bits (technologically and human) that had never been done before and, foremost, involved a real person stepping out on the edge of space and jumping.
The Dragon launch may have longer importance because of our need to privatize space flight but for news, today, about the limits of what humans can do? That jump was some wicked shit.
