Hey everyone! It's Jack here, and I just stumbled upon this mind-blowing video of Felix Baumgartner's record-breaking supersonic freefall from the edge of space.
I couldn't wait to share it with you all! Felix not only broke the speed of sound during his epic jump but also showcased incredible human daring and resilience. His journey from the black void of space to the clear blue sky is simply breathtaking.
This video isn't just about breaking records; it's about pushing human limits and the sheer will to survive against all odds. As one comment highlights, Felix reached a top speed of around 843.6 mph, proving that with courage and technology, what seems impossible can be achieved.
Let's not forget Joseph Kittinger, the legend who paved the way with his own leap in 1960. He risked it all; his mentor's story of perseverance adds depth and inspiration.
Despite the risks involved, Felix's adventure shows us the beauty of exploration and discovery. Watching the sun rays and the transformation of the sky is truly a visual treat. So, hit play and witness this awe-inspiring feat yourself!

User1.I still can't believe it's possible for a human to survive a fall from space like that. There was so much risk involved. This guy is thick skinned and balls of steel. For real.
User2.The older gentleman ( now sadly passed) who was advisor on this jump is Joseph Kittinger who held the record for a staggering 53 years. Unbelievably his freefall from 102,000 feet made in 1960 lasted all this time, until 2012.
This man should never, ever be forgotten if we are to celebrate these feats. And he did it alone. What a man to have on your team to break the record. Felix is incredible but Joseph was equally so. And such a cool calm dude
User3.For those calling this fake because he did not catch fire upon entry, it is because his velocity was not nearly high enough to compress the air in front of him, which is what causes meteorites to generate their fiery shell. This man just fell from the upper atmosphere with a top speed of around 843.
6 mph, whereas meteorites can often travel upwards of 90,000 mph with a much greater surface area.
User4.The old man that was talking the whole time is Joe Kittinger, he made this jump from 19 miles up back in 1960. His story is crazy, his pressurized glove quit working and he was so high up that the blood in his hand started to boil and they asked him if he wanted to come down but he said no and continued with the mission. He was the one who found out that you spin very hard when coming back into the atmosphere to the point that he passed out.
Luckily he woke up in time to pull his parachute. He did this back when there was no safety and the odds of surviving were almost 0%. That old man is a complete badass
User5.It took 4 minutes for this guy to make it from space to earth, but it takes 1 hour to deliver my pizza.
User6.Space is beautiful and it's so satisfying to see the black void of space turn into beautiful clear blue sky's. The sun rays after he jumped are just next level. I would give anything to go to space!
