Red Bull Stratos

[dexyweescot]

One word "LEGEND" and the live show has started

The countdown has begun for Felix Baumgartner's epic jump from the edge of space. Supported by a team of experts, Felix will ascend in a helium balloon to an altitude of 120,000 ft / 36,576 m where he will take a leap of faith into the unknown in an attempt to become the first person to break the speed of sound during freefall. To follow the progress of this mission - launch date set for 9th October 2012 - and to receive alerts on where and when to tune in to watch Red Bull Stratos rewrite history live

Just watched it. 2 1/2 hrs to ascend and 5 minutes to land again, after stepping off the capsule. They estimate he fell at a top speed of well over 700mph
And then to land on his feet!

That was unbelievable...
