If you haven’t heard about the Red Bull Stratos freefall project, you’re about to. Felix Baumgartner will jump from 120,000 feet, essentially free falling 37 kilometres (23 miles) and will attempt to break the sound barrier over a desert in New Mexico:
THE MISSION
Red Bull Stratos is a scientific mission to 120,000 ft. Jumping from a stratospheric balloon one man will attempt to break the speed of sound in freefall.
