Austrian Felix Baumgartner is planning to skydive from a balloon 121,000 feet (23 miles) above Earth’s surface. Insanity.
What is it like to fall from space? According to Kittinger, who’s now working on the Stratos team, it’s surprisingly peaceful. With little air resistance, there’s almost no sensation of falling at high altitudes.
“There’s no sound, no movement,†Kittinger wrote in his autobiography. It’s like being suspended in the sky.
