First Human Supersonic Space Jump (live)
Watch the First Human Supersonic Space Jump (Updating Live)
"Felix Baumgartner is going to jump from the edge of space. If successful, he's going to become the first man in history to go supersonic without any mechanical propulsion aid whatsoever. He's now getting ready. You can watch it live here.
He will break many records. One of them was set by United States Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger on August 16, 1960. Kittinger jumped from the Excelsior III balloon, which at the time was flying at 102,800 feet-that's 19.47 miles or 31 kilometers up in the sky.
More importantly, if everything goes right, he will be the first man to go supersonic without any propulsion aid. That has to hurt."

Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…
you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.

Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.

I watched this live and was absolutely astounded at how much of a rush that must have been. I couldn't even begin to imagine the feeling you get standing on a ledge 128,000 feet in the air and just falling forward. He reached a top speed of 833 mph (mach 1.24). An incredible feat.
