And so are Joe and the folks at team Red Bull Stratos!!! Just a while ago, Felix Baumgartner jumped from a capsule floating ~128,000 feet above sea level and free-fell for over 4 minutes back to earth. In the process, he broke several records (some of which have been standing for more than 50 years!) and he made it back to terra firma safely. The jury is still out on whether he broke the speed of sound or not during his free-fall, and he did have some difficulty with his visor heating (it also fogged up during his descent, possibly related to the heating issue, I reckon), but what a fun/amazing thing to watch!
Congrats, Red Bull Stratos!!!
