You may like it call it publicity
stunt but just close your eyes and imagine jumping off from a wall where you
cannot see the end when you know that it may be just your last jump and then
multiply this feeling with 24 miles space jump.
I could not help admiring fearless
Felix Baumgartner. I call him fearless because he is the man who believed in
what he wishes to do rather than what he is scared to do.
Felix Baumgartner now 43 jumped off
his supersonic balloon from 24 miles above earth and stayed in air freefalling
for 4 minutes and 20 seconds before touching his feet on earth again in Mexican
desert. Felix Baumgartner space jump is not just heroic but also record
breaking for highest human freefall. That is not it, he is also first skydiver
ever to break sound barrier this means Felix Baumgartner was falling faster
than sound could travel without any assistance of any kind of unnatural force.
Felix Baumgartner speed valocity was measured at Redbull control center at
833.9 mph which is 1.24 time of speed of sound. This means if you called Felix
Baumgartner name from when he reached his peak speen of free falling then he
would have vertually heared only it after he opened his parachute.
Only thing helped his survive this
harrowing freefall was his will and pressurized space suite.
