Just found out about this today, a man will be jumping from 120.000ft and will land with a parachute!

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. His attempt to dare atmospheric limits holds the potential to provide valuable medical and scientific research data for future pioneers.

The Red Bull Stratos team brings together the world's leading minds in aerospace medicine, engineering, pressure suit development, capsule creation and balloon fabrication. It includes retired United States Air Force Colonel Joseph Kittinger, who holds three of the records Felix will strive to break.

Joe's record jump from 102,800 ft in 1960 was during a time when no one knew if a human could survive a jump from the edge of space. Joe was a Captain in the U.S. Air Force and had already taken a balloon to 97,000 feet in Project ManHigh and survived a drogue mishap during a jump from 76,400 feet in Excelsior I. The Excelsior III mission was his 33rd parachute jump.

Although researching extremes was part of the program's goals, setting records wasn't the mission's purpose. Joe ascended in helium balloon launched from the back of a truck. He wore a pressurized suit on the way up in an open, unpressurized gondola. Scientific data captured from Joe's jump was shared with U.S. research personnel for development of the space program. Today Felix and his specialized team hope to take what was learned from Joe's jumps more than 50 years ago and press forward to test the edge of the human envelope.


FELIX AND RED BULL STRATOS... MISSION POSSIBLE
"On a mission like this, you need to be mentally fit and have total control over what you do, and I'm preparing very thoroughly."

Felix consistently challenges his personal limits while pushing the physical boundaries of human flight. In 2003, Felix completed an unprecedented flight across the English Channel with a carbon wing, and subsequently began to consider an even bigger goal: the supersonic freefall. With a team of the world's top scientists, engineers and doctors behind him, Felix will attempt to rewrite history and advance aeronautical research with Red Bull Stratos.


You can watch it live in http://www.redbullstratos.com/live/

Find more about this in http://www.redbullstratos.com/

I will try and watch this! streaming rocks!

========================================================================

UPDATE: It was canceled, they will try again tomorrow and If i can I will update it with the next timeline!

UPDATE 14/10: It's on! He will try the jump now!!!!!

It does scare me just to know from how high he is going to jump... oh my god just think of the feeling in your body in those falling minutes..

I'd get a heart attack from doing something like that.

I thought this was an imminent suicide news thread at first.

Haha I thought the same

This is pretty cool, might try to catch it if I can, I wonder if the attempt is going to be successful, I mean its quite fucking dangerous right XD

Is it possible he could light up?
Or do they not allow smoking before the event.
I feel like nice cig could really relax you for something like theis, whether yay or nay or back and fro

I never thought of that, not even cigs though, maybe some pot could really help him out with this.

I hope he burns

Unless I'm mistaken, he should eventually reach a point where his velocity no longer increases. Once that point hits, it'll just be a long trip of shit ton of friction, but no falling sensation (i think) lol. Would be a cool thing to try i think haha. Might have to stay up for this one.

Yup at some point air restistance and earth gravity will equal out, and he will no longer accelerate. But I'm to lazy to calculate that now. Can probably be found somewhere on the internet .

Well he'll reach a point where he will actually start to decelerate due to the airs density increasing which is quite interesting.

Burning up is determined by air density and his velocity, mainly his velocity, which I believe, will not exceed the point where he would burn up. The dangers come from some other failures.

As well as the general shape he will have and the composition of the suit. I'm confident they researched that a fair bit and anyways like you said he'll never get even close to the speeds necessary for that.

Good luck to him, even a regular parachute jump would require some consideration to do myself.

I love what he is doing, I just wish they didn't use up so much Helium for this. :/

His team has obviously checked the science behind the jump. He's not going to burn up half way. His speeds are nowhere near enough to burn up anyways.
There is no one like you in the universe.

Seriously, I get it , such things must be done from time to time, but, that's a hell lot of wasted helium. (not that we have too much )
Eh, hope nothing bad happens.

I really hope to see awesome pictures there! Or anything at all because everytime someone tries to stream via youtube it seems to fail for me and many other german fellows xD That's why I didn't see this Curiosity thingy T_T
