Can you watch youtube on your phone? If so the link is posted earlier in the thread.


Normally I can, but it's not letting me watch live streaming...
Money can't buy happiness; but it can get you flying, which is pretty much the same.

MotherF*in missionaries knocked on the door just as he jumped. Saw the leap, missed about the first 30 seconds after.

Record for highest manned balloon ascent, record for highest parachute jump. Still verifying speed.

I respectfully disagree....well maybe because I am Austrian. :))

It was Felix Baumgartner PR sponsered by Red Bull but it also brought a lot of publicity and maybe even something for the scientists etc.

On to the history books, and the wonderful touch was that now Mr. Kittinger has far more publicity than years ago. {cheerful}

In other news, Chuck Yeager, 89, also broke the sound barrier yesterday to commemorate the first manned supersonic flight 65 years ago on October 14, 1947:
