I Jumped From Space (World Record Supersonic Freefall)

What does it **really** feel like to jump from space? In 2012 Felix Baumgartner took a helium balloon into the stratosphere and skydived back to earth in a specially made space suit. Whilst in freefall he broke the speed of sound and entered a spin which threatened the entire Red Bull Stratos mission... Felix reflects on his achievement and shares what it really felt like to jump from the edge of space.

check out the full story behind Felix's incredible jump and Red Bull Stratos in a new documentary _'Space Jump'_ on Red Bull TV

The older gentleman ( now sadly passed) who was advisor on this jump is Joseph Kittinger who held the record for a staggering 53 years. Unbelievably his freefall from 102, 000 feet made in 1960 lasted all this time, until 2012. This man should never, ever be forgotten if we are to celebrate these feats. And he did it alone. What a man to have on your team to break the record. Felix is incredible but Joseph was equally so. And such a cool calm dude

I love that Red Bull has invested so much into displaying the most extreme limits of human achievement

For those calling this fake because he did not catch fire upon entry, it is because his velocity was not nearly high enough to compress the air in front of him, which is what causes meteorites to generate their fiery shell. This man just fell from the upper atmosphere with a top speed of around 843.6 mph, whereas meteorites can often travel upwards of 90, 000 mph with a much greater surface area.

They proved that red bull gives you wings. 💸

Joe Kittenger isn’t just a mission consultant, he’s the previous record holder, all the way from back in the Cold War, which is why this meant so much to him.

"yo cant talk right now, doing some activities"

the activities in question:

[ghostsuru]

I still can't believe it's possible for a human to survive a fall from space like that. There was so much risk involved. This guy is thick skinned and balls of steel. For real.

[vee.]

Redbull be doing anything BUT drinks. 💀

[vladmadalin-stefanvmd]

I remember this so well in 2012 and I've watched every second of it. I was a child back then but it was absolutely amazing to see this live.

[BrandonMcClanahan]

I was in college at the time of this. Our professor showed us this and he told us that what we were seeing was unbelievable really. I look back on that and now realize how just unbelievable this truly is.

[johnyjons_]

A human breaking the sound barrier is overwhelming. Felix you did an amazing job.

[BNHRD]

can’t believe it happened over 10years ago 😳 feels like it was yesterday 😮

[TubinHard]

This guy will never be excited from a roller coaster or Indy racecar or anything on earth. This is next level!

[BigLebowski]

I admire this guy because I absolutely do not have the nerves for something like this nor could I ever imagine having them.

"At this moment it's not about breaking record anymore .. it's about survival" this part Hits hard

[lynnprice]

I watched this live when he jumped. I didn’t think he was going to make it when he started spinning. So thankful it turned out well. Thanks for sharing this.

i came home from work one night in 2012 and this was live.. was so cool!
