    Felix Baumgartner

    I usually am not a fan of extreme guys that do death stunts to get attention. However, this is different. 120,000 feet this guy jumps in an atmosphere -70 degrees. Basically he is on the edge of space.

    You can see at the 1.20 mark he began spiraling out of control, but got it together.

    This is his entire jump. It's mostly in Latin dialect, but you get what they are talking about.

    Commercial Planes fly at 40,000 feet. Military 65,000 feet. Spy planes 85,000 feet. This guy, 120,000 feet with no engine.

    The thumbs up gesture is pretty priceless right before he jumped 23 miles. I would have done the same thing given my no fear attitude.

    On a side note, pretty amazing he doesn't lose consciousness. The preparation for something like that has to be extreme. I'd be pretty interested to see that aspect of it.

    I watched this, it was awesome. Seems like they had everything down so it was very safe. I wonder what the effects on him were when he broke the speed of sound. I have been skydiving before and it is a great feeling, I can't imagine how awesome 4+ minutes of free-fall would be. I imagine it wouldn't even be scary once you jump because of the adrenaline.

    I saw a very funny video on Youtube put together by some wing nut who tried to say this was all tied into "the occult". He blocked me right away when i made a comment asking wtf he was trying to show.
