Tech article 10/12

Red Bull Stratos.


On Tuesday this very week the red bull stratos was supposed to come to an end with Felix Baumgartner jumping out of a capsule, free falling from the edge of space. Unfortunately the mission had to be held off until Sunday October 14. He is going to float up until he reaches 120,000 feet above the earth's surface. When he jumps he is supposed accelerate at such a high rate that he will break the sound barrier. With that height and speed he has to were a specially made suite to keep his body from boiling like a pot of water on a stove.
