|
|
Red Bull Stratos is a mission to the edge of space that will try to surpass human limits that have existed for more than 50 years. Supported by a team of experts, Felix Baumgartner will undertake a stratospheric balloon flight to more than 120,000 feet / 36,576 meters and make a record-breaking freefall jump in the attempt to become the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall (an estimated 690 miles / 1,110 kilometers per hour), while delivering valuable data for medical and scientific advancement.
A LIVE webcast of the Red Bull Stratos will be live streamed at http://www.youtube.com/redbull and http://www.redbullstratos.com
Or here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=MrIxH6DToXQ

Amazing - watched the last couple of minutes before he jumped, and then was glued until he was safely on the ground.
Kudos to the team and specifically to the man! _________________ We miss you Nalini! |

was watching one of the preparatory videos, and they stated had the G-suit malfunctioned, the water in his body would have boiled. Scary indeed.
