Felix Baumgartner Space Jump World Record 2012 Full HD 108Op FULLJ

The Mission -
Red Bull Stratos, a mission to the edge of space, will
attempt to transcend human limits that have existed
for 50 years. Supported by a team of experts Felix
Baumgartner plans to ascend to 120,000 feet in a
stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump
rushing toward earth at supersonic speeds before
parachuting to the ground. His attempt to dare
atmospheric limits holds the potential to provide
valuable medical and scientific research data for
future pioneers.
The Red Bull Stratos team brings together the world's
leading minds in aerospace medicine, engineering,
pressure suit development, capsule creation and
balloon fabrication. It includes retired United States
Air Force Colonel Joseph Kittinger, who holds three of
the records Felix will strive to break.Joe's record jump from 102,800 ft in 1960 was during
a time when no one knew a human could Survive a
jump from the edge of space. Joe was a Captain in
the U.S. Air Force and had already taken a balloon to
97,000 feet in Project ManHigh and survived a drogue
mishap during a jump from 76,400 feet in Excelsior I.
The Excelsior |ll mission was his 33rd parachute
jump.
Although researching extremes was part of the
program's goals, setting records wasn't the mission's
purpose. Joe ascended in helium balloon launched
from the back of a truck. He wore a pressurized suit
on the way up in an open, unpressurized gondola.
Scientific data captured from Joe's jump was shared
with U.S. research personnel for development of the
space program. Today Felix and his specialized team
hope to take what was learned from Joe's jumps more
than 50 years ago and press forward to test the edge
of the human envelope."On a mission like this, you need to be mentally fit and
have total control over what you do, and I'm preparing
very thoroughly."
Felix consistently challenges his personal limits while
pushing the physical boundaries of human flight. In
2003, Felix completed an unprecedented flight across
the English Channel with a carbon wing, and
subsequently began to consider an even bigger goal:
the supersonic freefall. With a team of the world's top
scientists, engineers and doctors behind him, Felix
will attempt to rewrite history and advance
aeronautical research with Red Bull Stratos.This footage belongs entirely to Red Bull" and I'm just
