More incredible:

Somebody did it from even higher more than 50 years ago.

(I think this guy intends to eventually attempt to break that record.)

Capt. Joe Kittinger in the 50’s. He’s still alive and helping Felix with his jump.

Yup. Capt. Kittenger jumped from 102,800 feet in 1960. This guy's next jump is scheduled to be from 120,000 feet. I also suffer from adrenaline addiction...although age has cured some of it's effects.

This was his test jump. He intends to go for the record next month or so. Can you imagine—a test jump?
