Felix Baumgartner is going to jump from a height of 128.000 feet or 39km with a parachute. Right now he is very close to the jump, so watch him here live: http://www.redbullstratos.com/live/ The plan is that he will be braking the sound barrier while doing a free fall back to earth, this would make him the first human that has broken the sound barrier without any power other then gravity. Very cool
It was amazing - and I'm so happy I turned on the live vid cam at the very right moment, when he waved and jumped :D If anyone has balls of fire, it must be him! I actually wanted to start '50 facts about Felix Baumgartner' 1st: He doesn't need to walk. The Universe will turn around him ...
It was really exciting! I watched the whole thing with housemates more or less. Its great the way we can choose what to watch and put it on TV. Was I think there was something to gain from seeing the lot even though it was sorta dull. I liked the facts and explanations and build up etc. It made the final moments extremely tense. I almost couldn't watch. Just imagining being there... standing on the edge of a portaloo 120000ft up... makes my guts churn just thinking about it. The guy has balls indeed.
