Archangel Tyrael Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 A LIVE webcast of the Red Bull Stratos will be live streamed at http://youtube.com/redbull and http://redbullstratos.com "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." http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vkJ5ItzEq3M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventus Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'm really excited for this. I doubt he'll break the sound barrier as they said he would, but we'll see if he can defy the laws of physics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Dog Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I do wish him luck.........it is this type of courage that advances our societies and technologies. The obvious dangers he will face increase the rush he will feel as he plummets towards earth. I admire and respect him and wish him well.

Chewin3 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Ah yes, the famous Felix Baumgartner. His list of achievements is quite remarkable. I remember watching a documentary on him, ending with him stating that his next "trick" would be a free fall from space. Well I wish him best of luck, and hopefully he'll come out of it safe and sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCPO Mayh3m Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Am I the only one who has a mad feeling about this? I wish him the bast and hope he has a safe plummet (and parachute opening) to earth though. O_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robius5991 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I have just heard of this today. It sounds absolutely insane! I can't imagine ever being bold enough to make that kind of an insane jump. I totally respect the guy for doing this, and I commend him on how this will help in the medical adn scientific fields, but I wish him luck and hope that everything goes well.
