Felix Baumgartner is planning to try a stratospheric free fall jump from 120,000 feet above the earth, to the very edge of Space this year. It will be the longest in the history of man and he might be the first human to break the speed of sound with his own body.
He will join US Air Force Captain Joseph Kittinger as the only man to jump from near space altitude. Kittinger jumped on August 16, 1960, from the Excelsior III balloon, at 102,800 feet.
