I don't like to use the word 'epic' lightly.

But this, quite frankly, is.

This happened in 1960, MrMoonyMan...

He took off in the States and landed in Rotherham. There's a statue of him near the Town Hall...

Not a lot of people know that...smile

his jump was 102,000 feet, but wiki tells me..

Kittinger is currently advising Felix Baumgartner on a planned free-fall from 120,000 feet (about 36,000m).[5] The project is called the Red Bull Stratos project and has collected leading experts in the fields of aeronautics, medicine and engineering to ensure its success. Felix Baumgartner will also become the first man to break the sound barrier, during his free fall, if his jump is successful. Baumgartner's jump will be used to test the next generation of full pressure suits, used in space and to collect useful medical and scientific information

The Red Bull Stratos project...? I beleive Christian Horner is lining up Mark Webber to do this and it will without a chute..

Word is that MW isn't keen on jumping, so they're also sending up SV to ram him off the side of the balloon.

Red Bull will sponsor anything remotely dangerous. The stupider the better it seems.
