QuoteFelix Baumgartner is going to jump from the edge of space. If successful, he's going to become the first man in history to go supersonic without any mechanical propulsion aid whatsoever. He's now getting ready. You can watch it live here.

He will break many records. One of them was set by United States Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger on August 16, 1960. Kittinger jumped from the Excelsior III balloon, which at the time was flying at 102,800 feet-that's 19.47 miles or 31 kilometers up in the sky. Felix will do at least 120,000 feet, 23 miles.

More importantly, if everything goes right, he will be the first man to go supersonic without any propulsion aid. That has to hurt.

edit: got cancelled off due to wind gusts  :'(  they will retry it later though
