This has been all over the news recently. Very interesting.

QuoteAustrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner is well on the way to setting a world record for the highest free-fall jump.
On Thursday, the adventurer leapt from a balloon-borne capsule 71,500ft (22km) above New Mexico, landing safely eight minutes later.
The dive was intended to test all his equipment before he tries to free-fall from 120,000ft later this year...
This man is certifiable!

How thrilling!!!
Very very cool, though I can't say that I'd be thrilled if it was one of my loved-ones doing it. Yikes!
