Am I the only one who doesn't view this as particularly daring or dangerous? He has a pressure suit, an oxygen mask, and a multi-billion company behind him, which most certainly made sure that he survives this in order to get the best possible publicity.
The whole thing is really cool, but it seems like there isn't much danger to it, especially for a healthy and experienced professional like Baumgartner.

Yeah, maybe not as much danger now. But when the first kind of these jumps went ahead, there was no fucking clue what was going to happen. Also anything goes wrong with his suit, and he's kind of fucked. So yeah, kind of more dangerous than your average sky dive.

Also having the company behind him doesn't mean he is technically safe. I don't think Pastrana was completely safe when he did this lol.

I'm pretty excited for it, since I'm Austrian (He is Austrian too if you didn't know) and since he is known for all these crazy things. With this jump he will double the amount of world record set by him and he has about 5 (or more ?) already.

I wonder tough if he or Red Bull came up with the idea of an stratosphere high jump...

Terminal velocity, and yea he will reach it. People reach that from sky diving, not sure how much extra weight is strapped to him in his suit and whatnot.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

What's the Terminal velocity for a human on earth? I've heard that it is calculated that he will reach about 1100 km/h (680 mp/h), is that possible?

yes because he's not really on earth up there is he?

he'll reach mach 1 pretty fast (~40s) then start slowing down once the atmosphere becomes thicker.

Can anyone explain to me why they're doing this again? I mean, what data can be collected now that was not collected back in 1960 when it was done from 31km?
I understand that it's from a higher altitude and he will reach a higher speed, but that's only because he's spending a bit more time without any serious air friction.

So... why are they doing this again? Other than the obvious "because they can" answer.


It's a marketing campain, don't read too much into what they say about it. Noone wanted to pay for it again untill now, that's all

I don't know what is streamed on YouTube, since I didn't watch it yet, but for everyone understanding German, the coverage on ServusTV (the official Austrian RedBull TV station) is pretty good imo. You can find their live stream on their website (just google it)

The third and final test, Excelsior III, was made on August 16, 1960. During the ascent, the pressure seal in Kittinger's right glove failed, and he began to experience severe pain in his right hand from the exposure of his hand to the extreme low pressure. (See Effects of vacuum on humans.) He decided not to inform the ground crew about this, in case they should decide to abort the test. Despite temporarily losing the use of his right hand, he continued with the ascent, climbing to an altitude of 102,800 feet (31,333 m).[2] The ascent took one hour and 31 minutes


sounds like its hurting a lot if you even have a small opening in that suit.


Yes from what I have read, due to the small pressure leak, the blood in his hand was basically boiling. Also if I remember correctly, the guy said the reason he regained use of his hand was because it had swollen up to the point where his hand completely filled the glove and it gave him back some use.

It's live on youtube but errors are occuring all the time.

I'm lucky, i'm from austria and there's a TV station called "servus TV " which is from RedBull and they are broadcasting the whole day.
