Holy Sh*t!

Felix Baumgartner is an Austrian daredevil with over 2,000 sky dives under his parachute belt. His latest coup is to attempt the highest sky dive ever, which is a breath-taking (literally) 120,000 feet. Refer to the diagram below for some perspective:

 

While 120,000 feet is still off of proper "space" by over 200,000 miles, it will send him beyond the stratosphere (the earth's second layer of major atmosphere) and the Armstrong line; the latter of which means that his insides would be at boiling point were it not for the specialized pressure suit and helmet he'll be wearing.

Like many other strange occurrences, Felix's undertaking will be staged from Roswell, New Mexico. If the fall is successful, he'll break four records: The highest parachute jump (U.S. Air Force pilot Kittinger fell from 102,300 feet back in 1960. Felix is employing a helium balloon to accomplish the additional 18,000 feet.); First human to break the sound barrier without the use of a vehicle (Felix is expected to exceed 680mph and will be wearing four satellite/navigation units in order to record the speed for his information while falling as well as record-keeping (and breaking).); Longest free fall time (Felix should take about five and half minutes to fall...long enough to eat a bag of chips that he probably won't have room for in his suit); Highest manned balloon flight (infrared and microwave balloons have been released beyond water-vapor points in order to view cosmos, but Felix will be the first person to be in a device aptly capable because the helium balloon that will get him (within a capsule) to the launch height will be the first such device with a human being in it; however, Felix, obviously, won't be returning in the balloon, so this fourth record is considered unofficial).

With many 23-mile high questions now addressed, Felix's jump off is marked for Tuesday; what's on  your calendar?

Life sometimes can be holy sh*t.
