It has been confirmed that he actually hit 833.9 MPH, now that is just insane!
The BBC are doing a documentary on this and have been following it for 5 years. I'm led to believe there were also camera's on his suit so here's hoping it will show the full descent from his perspective.
... and for those that missed it.

I read somewhere that the capsule dropped some 90km east of where he landed. I didn't think it would have drifted that far away.

It's gone into space! I'm surprised it was only 90km.

I think there's a difference between unintentionally falling out of a plane at something like 60.000 or 70.000 feet and willingly stepping out of a perfectly servicable craft at 128.000 feet and just whacking down in free fall for over 100.000 feet, which is more than the blackbird's service ceiling.
