Check out this guy who's planning to jump from a balloon at the edge of space. "He will fall so fast that he becomes the first person to go faster than the speed of sound unaided by a machine."

Talk about no fear! Was that just a one time thing?

I didn't see the end where his chute was supposed to open.
Is he dead?

He hasn't done it yet. I think I read that he's planning to do it this summer.


I wonder what the gravity's like at that altitude. Imagine the look on his face if he jumps out of the balloon and, instead of falling to Earth, he drifts off into space, or goes into orbit.  :o
