Felix Baumgartner standing at 21.8 km altitude in a balloon, ready for a test jump for the Red Bull Startos project earlier in March. He wants to break the sound barrier in free fall with a skydive from 37 km altitude later this summer.
Joe Kittinger jumped from 31 km in 1960, holding the record, and being now an advisor on this project. Kittinger reported that he wasn't sure wether he will fall back to earth or if he escaped gravity already, since he did not feel any air resistance when he jumped out. Awesome stuff.
