An hour and thirty-one minutes after launch, my pressure altimeter halts at 103,300 feet. At ground control the radar altimeters also have stopped-on readings of 102,800 feet, the figure that we later agree upon as the more reliable. It is 7 o'clock in the morning, and I have reached float altitude. . . Though my stabilization chute opens at 96,000 feet, I accelerate for 6,000 feet more before hitting a peak of 614 miles an hour, nine-tenths the speed of sound at my altitude.
Altitude sickness is gonna put the screws on you.
If I'm on an airplane, a Kate Hudson movie is what I'm looking for. I'll sit there and I'll cry. I think it's the altitude or something like that.
While flying with several other USAF pilots over Germany in 1957, we sighted numerous radiant flying discs above us. We couldn't tell how high they were. We couldn't get anywhere near their altitude.
Our attitude determines our altitude.
Your gratitude attitude determines your life altitude.
What determines your altitude in life is your attitude.
I returned to the courtyard and saw that the sun had grown weaker. Beautiful and clear as it had been, the morning (as the day approached the completion of its first half) was becoming damp and misty. Heavy clouds moved from the north and were invading the top of the mountain, covering it with a light brume. It seemed to be fog, and perhaps fog was also rising from the ground, but at that altitude it was difficult to distinguish the mists that rose from below and those that come down from above. It was becoming hard to discern the bulk of the more distant buildings.
Mountains should not be judged by altitude.
Change your attitude and gain some altitude. Believe me, you'll love it up here.
Attitude and not the Aptitude decide the Altitude you reach in life.
Attitude, not Aptitude, determines Altitude.
I've been shot down so many times, I get altitude sickness just from standing up for myself.
Not that I haven't leaped up into the blinding light of competence now and then. It's sustaining the altitude that defeats me.
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.
Maybe I'll go where I can see stars, he said to himself as the car gained velocity and altitude; it headed away from San Francisco, toward the uninhabited desolation to the north. To the place where no living thing would go. Not unless it felt that the end had come.
We came back right over the World Trade Center and could see, even from that altitude, the devastation, the smoke that was coming up. It was obvious it was going to be horrible.
I'm really high. . . I mean the altitude of course.
Because of the high altitude, you get drunk really fast. So everyone's drunk all the time.
Your attitude determines your altitude. It really is true that If you think you can, you can; and if you think you can’t – you’re right.
