Everything You
Need To Know About Red Bull’s Insane World Record 23-Mile Space Jump
On Tuesday,
October 9th, Felix Baumgartner will participate in the final stage of the Red Bull Stratos project, the highest
sky diving mission in history.
He'll be
jumping from 23 MILES above Roswell, New Mexico, which is enough to
consider this a space jump. This is what you need to know.
What's the deal
with this stratos jump?
Red Bull is
known for its sponsorship of extreme sports around the world. The stratos
jump might just be the most audacious thing they've attempted. Basically, a
huge helium balloon with a space capsule attached will rise to 120,000
feet, and a man, Felix Baumgartner, will then jump out of said capsule and
head towards Earth. During the jump, he is expected to hit 690 MPH within
30 seconds and become the first man to break the sound barrier. Think about
that for a second.
In preparation,
there have been two successful jumps from 72,000 and 96,000 feet. The world record is 102,000 feet. The man who
holds the 102,000 foot record, Joseph Kittinger, is actually working with
Red Bull on this jump. Kittinger set the record 50 years ago. That's damn
cool.
If Baumgartner
lives through the 120,000 foot leap, he'll go down in the record books as
the man with the largest set of balls to ever set foot on this planet.
How's this all goin' down?
Red Bull is
planning on launching a gigantic helium filled balloon from Roswell, New
Mexico that will then carry the capsule and Baumgartner up to 120,000 feet,
which is expected to take about three hours. Then he jumps out.
He isn't just
jumping out in your typical sky diving wear either, Baumgartner is going to
outfitted up the wazoo with a state of the art pressurized suit, GPS,
g-force meters, a special parachute that can stop a tail spin, two real
parachutes, wide angle cameras, and multiple layers to survive the cold of
space.
If all goes to
plan, the jump should last about 10 minutes. He will open his chute five
minutes in and descend for five more minutes. Once he jumps out, the
capsule and balloon will separate, allowing the capsule to return to Earth.
Why New Mexico?
Good weather
and vast areas of nothing to be destroyed really make this perfect. Having
a man and a capsule falling down over New York or Los Angeles would be a
bad thing.
Who is this Baumgartner character?
Baumgartner is
a 43-year old Austrian that has a reputation for being a bit of a
daredevil.
He's a BASE jumping champion (you name it, Felix has probably
jumped off of it), flown across the English Channel wearing a carbon wing,
and he's one of three people to jump from over 70,000 feet and actually
survive. He's been skydiving since he was 16 and was also in the Austrian
military.
His life is
basically about records. If he successfully completes Tuesday's jump, he'll
be in the record books once again. If he fails, he'll enter some very
different books.
I wanna watch! How do I watch?
Just watch it
right here silly! Red Bull's livestream of the jump will be right here on Jalopnikstarting at
7:45 EST Tuesday morning with the video beginning at 8 AM EST/5 PST.
The jump was
supposed to occur this morning, but questionable weather forced it to be
postponed until tomorrow morning.
Best Wishes,
