Red Bull Stratos project: 23 miles, Mach 1, free fall

I disagree. I define freefall as moving toward something. I don't know what you're trying to say, but the moon isn't getting any closer to earth, it's moving around it. It's acceleration vector is pointing toward the earth, but it's velocity vector is NOT.

Now you've done it.

But anyways. . .

An object in orbit above earth is falling, but falling around the earth.

We can argue about what we think free-fall is but I am going to stick to the physical definition (Silverpig).
