Stupid? His bravery and contributions were necessary for man's flight into space. It appears that the spirit of curiosity and discovery is not a universal trait in humanity. The absence of that spirit within man, we still wouldn't be using fire. However, in my opinion the documentary would be better without the redundancy.

He must have a massive set of bo##ocks. ( or he froze em off ) He stepped up for MANKIND. Everyone slagging him off, would you have the guts to lob your self off a glorified deck chair into the void ? inspirational, maybe a head banger definetley.

But here, the shitty beats and vocal are from some remix. Original suits this better obviously.

PS: Watch the movie if you have not yet, all time fav.

Check this out too, first few minutes on this are the same vid as posted here but the parts are in correct order. Plus great music that fits perfectly ;).

During his freefall, one of the gloves to the suit, opened up and depressurized his arm. it became so "inflated" that the suit forced a patern on his arm, it became normal at the end of the day.
And the knowledge of how low pressure and lack of protection from it, comes from his jump.

you dont see people like that anymore. taking such a risk for knowledge :)

all these "downrate me plox attention needy bitches" should just get banned to be honest, this is not a website for bullshit like that. (i have a 2 month old little bro and even he is not THAT NEEDY! jesus)

as for the vid, wow i can only imagine how that feels, being up that damn high, and just jumping down! =O

Wow, congrats to the people posting Boards of Canada, they have some of my favourite albums, and as for that video, it is my al time favourites.

I guess the relevance of posting this video now is because someone in the last week has said they want to beat his record and go from even higher and actually beat the speed of sound. He was the same guy who flew over the British Channel with the metal wings.

While we're at it..Felix Baumgartner plans to break this 50 year-old record in april this year, and the interesting fact is that Joe Kittinger (man in this video) is in his team as co-ordinator. Felix will be jumping from 36.576 meters (120.000 feet). Good luck!

The song is moby's....
i love both Moby and BoC and this is definitely not BoC.
The song in this movie is a feat and features U N K L E .

Here's the youtube link for the original:

Cool video, what a brave guy...I'm sure things weren't calculated as accurately as today and the outcome wasn't as predictable either so even more amazing. Thx for sharing!
