Closest thing to go would be Mars, plus there is nothing much to be gained on the Moon atm. I'm personally convinced (read: personally hope) someone will try to put a man on Mars in the next 100 years, but that's derailing the topic. | ||

At least out of Austrian TV its not 100% sure if the jump is gonna happen today. Todays jump is from 36,7km which will be the highest jump ever in human history. Its not a huge step for science, but good advertisement for redbull! Since redBulls owner Didi Mateschitz sponsored the whole program  | ||
