Felix Baumgartner makes world skydive record attempt

Oct 14, 2012 19:47



Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner is hoping to become the first person to break the sound-barrier without a vehicle.

He is jumping from a balloon at more than 120,000ft (36.5km) above Roswell, New Mexico, while testing a custom-made suit that should protect him from the extreme cold and low air pressure.

is anyone else watching this live? I'm watching it with my brother. this is huge publicity for Red Bull. Felix drank a Red Bull in his capsule lol. they sponsored 50 millions for this attemp (smh this money could have been used for more important things). it's funny how much buzz he's getting like he's flying to the moon. I don't think he will survive this.
