If given the chance, would you take the leap? 👨‍🚀

I'd be more inclined to go to the moon in a space capsule than go solo supersonic freefalling from such a height.

I would die for a chance to do that jump! What an awesome view and an amazing team behind Felix. Personally I think that accomplishment was way better then going to the moon for the first time! Well done to Felix and his crew and to Redbull for making this happen!!!

Jeez that was quite emotional to watch.. The fact that he regained control after he spun so much is mind-blowing!

Regaining control got easier as he fell into denser parts of the atmosphere because he could then use his arms and legs as "rudders."

Watched this a few times and it still hits me - so elated from pure happiness!

I remember seeing this and was impressed. I can't believe some people thought this was a somewhat easy jump, as if he's just slightly higher than other parachute jumps. This is very impressive and required a lot of thought and science!

Felix announcing, "I'm going home now" (13:02) as he steps into the unknown, still brings tears to my eyes, even after more than eleven years. Feix Baumgartner is an amazing man, a true Superman, and this is an amazing accomplishment for all those involved!

The fact that we would drop one of our own from 128,000 ft just to see what happens is one of my favorite things about humans. It also has massive "Risky Dads" and "Humans Are Space Orcs" energy lol

Seeing Joe being proud of Felix's achievement somehow brought me tears of happiness.

That was absolutely amazing

I simply admire your courage, ''Felix Austria'' 🙄 And thank you so much for your personal comments to your experiances. When guys like Joe finally get tears and a shaky voice... my visor gets blury and foggy as well❣

Beautiful

His record breaking maximum altitude jump (39 km) was broken again two years later by Alan Eustace (41 km). Although you do need a full pressure suit, 40 km is not even halfway into whatever definition you are using for reaching space.

Isn't space like about 200 some odd miles up? Sorry i don't know kilometers. Maybe like 360 something km? I'm probably way off tho Forgive me, im american lol. 😄

@@jojeanajaxon The most common definition is 100 km or 62 miles, but it's worth noting that there isn't really any sharp boundary since the atmosphere just gets thinner and thinner until we call it space.

There is no exact altitude at which Earth's atmosphere ends. It goes on and on, becoming less and less dense. One might even consider the moon to be inside the atmosphere. But it's a pretty good vacuum up there. 100 km or 85 km altitude is indeed rather arbitrary to let "space" start. You can orbit Earth but atmospheric drag will be considerable. Below those altitudes it's a waste of fuel and you're heating up too much I think, at almost 8 km/s or almost 5 miles a second. By the way one English mile = 1.609344 km.

There goes the flat earth theory

Just watch Drop Zone w Wesley to get a glimps at how hard it is just to jump at Simi normal altitudes.

Is he really traveling at supersonic speeds? Doesn’t the speed of sound differ when the air density is less that far from earths surface?

The speed of sound is mostly determined by the air's _temperature,_ not by its density. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Comparison_US_standard_atmosphere_1962.svg

It's still an impressive jump. Although it's not fair that Alan Eustace, who fell from 2 kilometers higher 2 years later, got far less media attention.

Red Bull (who paid for this stunt) also have a Formula 1 team, and that cost much more for one season than this jump. So do you make such a comment also when it comes to motorsport? Or in the commenst for the trailer of a new Hollywood blockbuster, that cost millions of dollars?
