Felix Baumgartners is gearing up for his attempt at a 120,000 ft free fall and first time ever supersonic speeds. He will ascend into the stratosphere via hot air balloon while wearing the first non-governmental space suit custom designed for his body. The first man to ever skydive 22 miles across the English Channel, world record BASE jumps from the Millau Bridge (1,125 ft), and Taipei 101 Tower (1,669 ft), Felix is definitely very familiar with danger. This time will be quite a different challenge, considering no human being has ever broken the speed of sound with their own body. It's estimated that at that altitude, Felix will be in free fall for 5 minutes and 35 seconds before his main chute deploys. 23 miles above the Earth's surface, Felix will jump. You good sir are an absolute fucking badass.

Here is Felix's suit revealed for the first time.

Who are you always telling we don't make snow cone machines?
