Felix Baumgartner 'breaks speed of sound'

[Flagg]

Did anyone see this today?

I've just watched the video which can be seen here:

Quite literally gobsmacked. This tops/dwarves any other "wish" within the realms of reality for people. I would love to win evo, i would love to climb everest, I would love to do a shark dive, and so on.

This guy just did a free fall from space back to earth and was falling faster than a bullet fired out a gun.

I watched it live. he came so close to beating the free fall record. Crazy thing is, he jumped from 25k feet higher than Kittenger did in 1960. None the less, pretty mind boggling

"After reaching such heights, Baumgartner’s next ambition is to take to the sky once again. Although this time his ceiling will be much lower. He hopes to move to the country with his girlfriend, dividing his time between the US and Austria, where he plans to fly helicopters, performing mountain rescues and firefighting."

I think he is officially the most interesting man in the world now.
