Red Bull Stratos - Freefall from the Edge of Space

Watching Felix Baumgartner dive from a capsule almost 39 km above the earth yesterday was intense.  I can't imagine the thoughts that were going through his mind as he made the almost two and a half hour ascent to the edge of space.  It was a pretty amazing feat to witness live; one of those moments that will forever be etched in my memory.  It's also one of those human achievements that conjures up a spark of ambition to suggest that we, people, are capable of things that could easily be passed off as impossible.

While watching the sky dive on YouTube, I took screen shots to capture the moments.  Below are snapshots of the historic jump.
