Sounds as awesome as I have always imagined it! I frequently have dreams that I am flying higher and higher, off into the cosmos, then falling back to the earth but always wake up before I actually make contact with the ground.
Skydiving would literally be living a dream to me

I am glad you got to experience this and I am psyched for when I finally get around to actually taking the plunge!
Hydrocarbon is indeed a real person existing in real time. However, Hydrocarbon is actually a proxy for another individual, Nemano, that lives outside the realm of current Terran laws and regulations. All posts made by Hydrocarbon in which "I", "me", and other references to himself are the voice of Nemano speaking digitally through Hydrocarbon. Any illicit, immoral, or otherwise questionable behavior that Hydrocarbon appears to be admitting to are actually the actions of Nemano.
Occasionally, Hydrocarbon has been known to inject his twisted sense of humor into Nemano's words, but anything stated that was particularly witty or insightful was most likely not the result of Hydrocarbon's intellect.
