Fearless Felix is going to break the speed of sound using his capsule... skydive from 23 miles up. LOL
Good luck, hope he makes it. Sounds nuts to me.
"The Austrian adventurer will ascend to 120,000 feet in a pressurized capsule and, wearing only a spacesuit and a parachute, jump. As he plummets earthward in what will be the highest skydive ever, Baumgartner will become the first person to break the sound barrier in freefall."

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Well, he didn't break the record for time spent in free-fall, but it looks like he did break the sound barrier. That was totally cool watching it live with the munchkins!
