Man jumps to Earth from near-space

The spirit of adventure is alive and well and pushing us to greater things

Just in case you’ve been living in a cave that’s been buried by an avalanche, thus leaving you completely without contact to the outside world, you’ve probably heard by now of Felix Baumgartner.  This is the guy who just recently ascended to the very reaches of space only so he could jump back down to the Earth again and break all sorts of records. Eight million people got a view of his jump via YouTube, making it the most watched stream in the Internet’s rather brief history.  And, of course, the man was successful in his endeavor, else we would be hearing more about his funeral than about his crazy jump.
