Psiphi Posted October 9, 2012 www.redbullstratos.com/live/ "Red Bull Stratos, a mission to the edge of space, will attempt to transcend human limits that have existed for 50 years. Supported by a team of experts Felix Baumgartner plans to ascend to 120,000 feet in a stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump rushing toward earth at supersonic speeds before parachuting to the ground." Wow! Should be something epic to watch to say the least. I wish the guy luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foo Posted October 9, 2012 Epic feat indeed. I could imagine watching wouldnt be nearly as exciting. Regular sky diving clips do zero for me though ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psiphi Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) This is the only skydiving thing that's made me go "WOW" so far. The music is awesome too. Edited October 9, 2012 by Psiphi 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psiphi Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Squirrel Suits or whatever you wish to call them, are amazing! Seems to be on hold. Earliest possible jump is an hour and 10 minutes away It keeps getting pushed back further and further... These things happen with science, I guess.
