| Felix Baumgartner is hoping to achieve the world record for highest sky dive, jumping from the edge of space while breaking the sound barrier at the same time.
Right now they're getting his capsule ready. |

| Mission aborted for today due to gusty winds. Must suck since they were just about to get him off the ground when the wind suddenly kicked up.
Baumgartner was going for the records of highest jump, longest freefall, breaking the sound barrier, and highest balloon flight. |

Originally posted by X I was wondering that myself, actually. The parachute wouldn't do much good if you burned to a crisp! |

| I guess that sort of jump has been attempted before but not from that height, hence the records he was gunning for breaking.
They're still trying to figure out if the weather would be compatible with his attempt. In the meantime, enjoy this video of Franz Reichelt testing out his new parachute cloak by jumping from the Eiffel Tower: |

| Hopefully, this new guy doesn't end up like Reichelt. | |||

| And the video is unavailable. Congrats to him... but let those who couldn't watch live at least see the fucking video. | |||

| I'm amazed there's no video up yet, since they had video with a montage and everything put together instantaneous when the mission was aborted a few days ago.
Kind of interesting, though, that the re-scheduled date (yesterday) was the 65th anniversary of Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier for the first time. Quite a coincidence. |
