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

Regards,
Jishnu

It kind of reminds me of Tintin's 'Explorers on the Moon' Smile

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!

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.
