Red Bull Stratos Project from the Tropos life...
Splendid movie of the amazing that has been done. It is nice to see crazy has its good side :)))).
And another video on Felix Baumgartner history. Well, deep into the library of pictures and videos this link redirects you to. Well, Red Bull had some balls there, and a beautiful simple website.
Apart from the fantastic jump, speaking about the speed of sound. If you are interested a lil't bit by physics, speed depends on the environment as well. on the ground, something like 340 m/s, going higher, pressure drops, hence the speed needed increases, some info here:
So waiting for the FAI to confirm the results. no, not of PV=nRT of perfect gazes, ok to be corrected to get the Mach up there. Well, kind of my educations, loved so much aero and thermodynamics, pdf linked to some of the stuff that happens there.
Still, 39 kms jump is done, as for me, would enjoy much having the sensation of a good old base down the lauterbrunen.... now that the eyes on skydiving is no longer crazy but one starts to understand it is a lot about planning, managing the expected and the unexpected. knowing how to be cold-blooded in front of life threatening situation. I need to jump again.
Anyway, thousands of thanks for making us dream. As for the records, looking forward to the homologation.
