Today: Felix Baumgartner 36km stratosphere jump

cant make out what he is saying...

his visor is fogging up!

lol these fuckin austrians man ice water in their veins

dang that was cool

is that hottie his sister or his wife/gf?

haha, he didn't break Kittinger's free fall time record, lol

I was shitting myself as he sat on the edge looking over. I'm surprised the parachute worked considering the size and no doubt mass of his balls.

that was awesome

that was...pretty fucking cool.

im psyched that he made it safely...was a bit worried when he talked about the foggy visor...

he was going like 800mph at one point, wasnt he?

i was thinking i would absolutely fucking try that....even if i died, what a way to go.

only one other human being in world history has witnessed what he has.

lol oh you

anyway, really cool. my fav part was the casual landing on his feet!! Fucking incredible not so much for him alone but the mindblowing amount of thought and engineering that goes into things like this. i mean fuck i still can't understand how a radio works...

^lol

wow that looked like a flawless jump.

Holy shit, he died?!?!?!

WOW that was really cool! Was really worried when he was spinning but then when he controlled it I was like

I find it somewhat humorous and encouraging that red bull is behind this. We're definitely entering the age of private space travel.

that was some cool ass shit right there.

Loved how when he touched down he was all like...

wait, what?

plz dont troll this moment of absolute awesome

red bull is a fucking incredible company and it has NOTHING to do with the drink. talk about the brilliance of branding

the easy landing was pretty LOL slash-what a fucking beast moment

This is the closest my generation has witnessed something as cool as the moon landing. They better damn well land on Mars in my life time.

He should had hold off on pulling the parachute for a few seconds to beat Kittinger's record for longest free fall.

don't forget the spacex launch about a week ago, which was even more spacey than this.

will wait to see the high-quality suit footage, but I suspect nothing will beat the rawness of Kittinger's jump and death-tumble...that's the downside of making things so well-rehearsed and high-tech...

why did he opened it early

does anyone know why he pulled it when he did? like, was he aware of the time, or perhaps did he just freak out? how exactly does he know when to pull it?

That man is a king.
