Red
Bull Stratos is a mission to the edge of space that will try to surpass
human limits that have existed for more than 50 years. Supported by a
team of experts, Felix Baumgartner will undertake a stratospheric
balloon flight to more than 120,000 feet / 36,576 meters and make a
record-breaking freefall jump in the attempt to become the first man to
break the speed of sound in freefall (an estimated 690 miles / 1,110
kilometers per hour), while delivering valuable data for medical and
scientific advancement.
