I Jumped From Space (World Record Supersonic Freefall)

What does it *really* feel like to jump from space? In 2012 Felix Baumgartner took a helium balloon into the stratosphere and skydived back to earth in a specially made space suit. Whilst in freefall he broke the speed of sound and entered a spin which threatened the entire Red Bull Stratos mission... Felix reflects on his achievement and shares what it really felt like to jump from the edge of space.

The older gentleman ( now sadly passed) who was advisor on this jump is Joseph Kittinger who held the record for a staggering 53 years. Unbelievably his freefall from 102,000 feet made in 1960 lasted all this time, until 2012. This man should never, ever be forgotten if we are to celebrate these feats. And he did it alone.

so awesome that you can remember it so vividly ❤️ thank you for all the support, we really appreciate it

Such an awesome experience to watch this live! I was in college and we had a bunch of people over watching it in my room. Everything changed when that door opened and you could see how high up he really was. Such an awesome video!

Saw it live--really the most incredible thing I have ever seen. I am a former skydiver--my brother taught it--and died from it--but still I love the sport, love that Felix did this, and that my brother died doing what he loved.

[@KabbalahSherry]

Damn I'm sorry to hear that about your brother. It's definitely dangerous but fun. But dangerous. 🫤 But hey, not all of Us get a chance to ever do it. It's an experience to be sure.

Wow. Very touching story. I can relate to you having lost my only brother. Did your brother have a accident?

Incredible people do incredible works. Not only his physical fitness, but his mental preparation and technical pre-works made this stunt an achievement! 💯

[@mattfranks4086]

Agreed. The only reason mankind was able to expand is that many before them took risks that nobody else would. Many call them crazy. As a modern example the Oceangate sub. I 100% would have went on that if offered. I ride a motorcycle every day, I know I could be taken out in a flash and have had many close calls. I enjoy it, I would rather live and loose than sit in my rocking chair telling my grandchildren that the secret to living old is to be terrified of living.

I hope you explained to your physics students that this skydive was from a helium balloon and that it wasn't actually from space as incorrectly referenced in the video by the uploader?

[@TimWrightt]

...too bad it's all bullshit. He is using a fisheye lens, it's low-earth orbit, it's a bullshit fall from really high so they can fake the curve of the earth. you can see the curve shifting and undulating as the camera shifts.

Joe Kittinger was the first guy to do this back in 1957!! That's why he was one of the main men and was so invested. That's why he got so emotional! He's so much more than just a mission consultant! May he RIP.

this is still the most amazing thing ive ever seen, and the fact it was broadcasted live for us all to see was just an absolutely amazing feat. I don't know if i will see anything that will make me feel this way again. Of course I hope, but its been over 10 years and nothing has some close.

Luke Aikins did a skydive without a parachute that is definitely worth watching.

@@fieldoperative0415 I havent seen that, i'll give it a watch now. Is it the one where someone lands in a net? I saw the 2 guys wingsuit into a plane, im guessing its not that?

@@cotch. Right. No wingsuit. It's just him landing on a net.

[@fromnorway643]

@@fieldoperative0415 Just watched the no-chute skydive from 25,000 ft. The most impressive part was actually hitting the 30 x 30 metre net from that altitude, since it initially presented a target less than 0.25 degrees wide. However, it's worth noting that his speed at impact would have been the _same_ if he had jumped from only 2000 ft (the "miracle" of terminal velocity!), but it would make hitting the target much easier.

[@Incepter.]

That is a one in a century experience for someone to free fall from space and from that height. You have to be prepared physically, emotionally and spiritually which honestly impresses me with how well Felix handled it. He has no fear.

[@fromnorway643]

He didn't jump from space, but from 39 km altitude in the _stratosphere._ The capsule he jumped from was brought up there by a large helium balloon which is visible at 0:18.

[@jacobpeters5458]

@@fromnorway643 ok so space (which starts after 115,000 feet which is 34km)

[@fromnorway643]

@@jacobpeters5458 According to the most common definition, space starts at 100 km, also known as the _Kármán line._ In reality, the atmosphere just gets thinner and thinner with altitude without any sharp boundary to space. Even the International Space Station at 400 km encounters enough air molecules to gradually to slow it down, explaining why it needs to be re-boosted by its thrusters to a higher orbit several times per year.

[@RandyWilliams-fl9cj]

Sorry to bust your bobble but no one has lived to tell a story of falling from space, that is because it's impossible to do! No one can come close to achieving such a fleet! Beside, in order to enter space, you have to cross the Carmen Line, which= space. They had it set up like someone was really in space, when in actually he was on earth. Ha ha 😅

Saw this live in 2012, and damn, when Felix went into that spin I was standing up and screaming at my screen *_"COME ON FELIX, YOU CAN DO IT! STOP THAT SPIN!"_* and when he finally came out of it I realized my heart had been racing so fast and beating so hard that I had to sit down because I felt like I was gonna faint any second. When he landed I was screaming again, this time out of happiness and pride - even though I don't know Felix at all it felt like I had been with him the entire way down, and I felt so proud of him for making it. It was a *great* experience. Something I'll never forget. And I'm *so* happy that I caught the live broadcast!

I had the amazingly good fortune to be able to watch it live that day. I **STILL** feel an internal unease every time I see a replay of his initial release from the capsule! But I don't want to turn away because of that first person camera view of the Earth!! Breathtaking in our abilities we humans are-- when we aren't trying to slaughter each other. I pray our wisdom soon catches up to our abilities. I so deeply desire a world for my children and grandchildren to be heralding news of more accomplishments by those like Felix than of atrocities by acolytes of evil. Thank you Felix for the courage to take yet another great leap for all humanity!!

[@ChadPrestonOfficialThree]

"First person camera view of the Earth", huh? You mean 'planet New Mexico' - that ridiculous spherical ILLUSION created by the barrel distortion of the fisheye lenses being used? Our world is NOT a spinning ball in "space". There are ZERO observable, repeatable, measurable, verifiable experiments IN HUMAN HISTORY that have EVER proven our world's supposed curvature OR its motion. NONE. Not one!
