Extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner lands safely on Earth after skydiving from 24 miles above Earth. That guy is my hero ! Pure Awesomeness!
Impressive? Yes, but not nearly as much as the men of Project Manhigh and Project Excelsior as they did it over 50 years ago with a lot less technology and safety advancements.
I wonder if the history channel has a clip on those people.

They ran a whole special on it a year or so ago. Kittinger, the previous record holder, was a consultant on Baumgartner's stunt.
Kittinger was more than as consutant, he was CAPCOM1 and talked to him while he was up. Cool
