Fearless Felix Baumgartner

Quote:
Skydiver "Fearless Felix" Baumgartner has done it again. On Wednesday, Baumgartner took another stratospheric leap, this time from an altitude of more than 18 miles - an estimated 96,640 feet, nearly three times higher than cruising jetliners. He landed safely near Roswell, N.M. His top speed was an estimated 536 mph, said Brian Utley, an official observer on site.

Re: Fearless Felix Baumgartner

I heard they had to custom design the suit around Baumgartner, so it could fit around his giant balls of steel.
