Skydiver Felix Baumgartner is going to attempt a record-breaking sky dive from an astonishing 120,000 feet. In order to cope with the conditions at that height a specialised equipment manufacturer are designing a space suit that he will wear during the dive to protect him against extreme temperatures and to keep him alive.

"Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner wants to attempt a record-breaking free fall from 120,000 feet above the Earth. It's not the kind of jump a person can do with a conventional sky-diving suit and helmet. After all, Baumgartner will break the speed of sound during his fall. He will need life-support. "

In-sane...

Holy...

Think of the view he'll have. I mean he'll basically be airborne for several more minutes than anyone else who's skydived (spacedived?). Unreal. Kudos to him and I hope he does it. TLC needs to cover this story.

think about how cool it would be to see the earth from that high and just fall forever... epic.

This is lame, some guy already did it from like 102,000 feet over 30 years ago

Just because we can do something... should we. Some people just can't say no.
