On March 15, 2012, Austria's Felix Baumgartner jumped out of a space capsule
from an altitude of approximately 71,580 feet as the Red Bull Stratos project
moved forward into the manned flight stage in New Mexico. The 42-year-old rode
the space capsule attached to a giant helium balloon above the so-called
"Armstrong Line." The goal of the Red Bull Stratos project is to see Baumgartner
attempt a record-breaking freefall from 120,000 feet this summer where he'll
potentially become the first man to go supersonic without the support of a
vehicle.
