Geronimo!

Felix Baumgartner plans to jump from 120,000 feet up and to become the first skydiver to go transonic.

He ejected after it passed the vertical, at 770 mph. He didn't have a comfortable ride, but he lived, thanks to landing in water, within easy reach of a boat that had a trauma doctor on board.; 3/16/2010 3:16 PM
Phil said...: Hmmm! I guess it's only a matter of time until the first skydiver incinerates on re-entry.; 3/16/2010 3:38 PM
Comrade Misfit said...: Sooner or later, we'll get to skydiving from orbit, as in the later Star Trek series.

Then there was Project Moose 45 years ago.; 3/16/2010 4:01 PM
Nangleator said...: Okay, that MOOSE system kind of reminds me of a popcorn kernel.

Not in a good way.; 3/16/2010 4:15 PM
Mark Rossmore said...: A few years ago, my dad and I did a biplane ride at Sun N Fun. It was a hell of a good time with all that noise and wind.

Back on the ground, though, we got a fresh surprise. It turned out our red-faced, mustachioed pilot was none other than Joe Kittinger. His jump from 102,000 feet in 1960 took him to 90% of the sound barrier and is the record that Mr. Baumgartner is attempting to break.; 3/16/2010 10:51 PM
Fixer said...: Won't be the first skydiver to end up as a grease spot either.; 3/17/2010 7:21 PM
