Mar 18, 2010: Freefall... 23 miles
That's right, 23 miles, over 120,000 ft, is what Felix Baumgartner is planning to do, with the help of Red Bull, Joe Kittinger (the current record holder), and a bunch of veteran NASA/USAF/Aerospace people.

'Good Music on Youtube' crosspost: the track 'Dayvan Cowboy' by Boards of Canada has a music video which the first third or so of is built out of footage from Project Excelsior. Gorgeous and amazing.

Watching gvidas' video, I noticed there was a video of Joe Kittinger telling his story, with video of his jump.
