Posted over at the Red Bull site on their “Holy Shit” list, and that just might be what you’ll say after checking out this latest video about a 36km freefall project sponsored by Red Bull.
Base jumping, transonic, supersonic…definitely testing the limits. This will be appropriately added under both our WTF? and EXTREME category. We will be sure to keep you posted with future updates about the Stratos Project.

When Felix Baumgartner jumps from 36km up in the atmosphere for the Red Bull Stratos experiment, it will be a true jump into the unknown. No one quite understands what the effects will be of Felix freefalling through the sound barrier (supersonic) and then back again to subsonic speeds… Some of the project’s key players explain the processes involved.
