You have no idea about the technical challenges that come with a jump like this. Stop reducing it to "the parachute", "the team", "the suit". These are all important parts of the jump but you can't just do this stuff without the experience to control yourself.

The way you are talking, you probably think it's trivial to jump out of an airplane with a parachute. There is a lot more to skydiving than just jumping and deploying a parachute. There is a reason you need to do a lot of jumps before you can jump at high altitude, and this record-breaking jump is even harder than that.

There is a reason people who are knowledgable about skydiving are impressed by this jump (see the comments higher up on the page), and that's because they appreciate the challenges. You are unimpressed because you know very little about these challenges. This is okay if you keep your ignorance to yourself, but embarrassing otherwise.

GP was not only trivializing, but also begging the question.

All you need to solve the technical problem is the solution to that problem. Easy.
