The Red Bull Stratos

BY darren.ho / 5 Oct 2012

Right, skydiving. Jumping out of a plane at an altitude of about 4,000 metres with nothing but the clouds and a piece of cloth suspending you in the skies. Piece of cake.
 
Imagine, if you can, amplifying the altitude tenfold, and vertigo becomes a laughable worry. You'll find yourself in a hostile environment with too little oxygen to sustain human life, brutal extremes in temperature and air pressure less than one percent of that at sea level. Essentially, where pilot Felix Baumgartner will find himself a few days from now – on the verge of space.
 
Supported by a team of world-leading scientists, engineers and physicians, Baumgartner will ascend to the upper reaches of the stratosphere in a pressurized capsule attached only to a helium balloon, where he will jump from the capsule, protected only by his custom-made full-pressure suit and helmet. Roughly 35 seconds into his free fall, Baumgartner is expected to break the speed of sound, along with a handful of other problems that have stood in the way of scientific research for aerospace programs all around the world.
 
That's right, it's all for the greater good, and not some maniacal adrenaline junkie out to make a point.
 
As with all incredible feats , records are expected to be broken. The best part for us non-skydivers is that we get to watch it live and in high-definition, right in the comfort of our own homes. Forget World Cups and the Olympics. This is ranked amongst the likes of Neil Armstrong and his historic moon landing.
 
Additionally, if making history was never your cup of tea, the morbid possibility of something going wrong is also a viable form of entertainment. But let's try not to go there.

As for the link for the video? You're already on it.
