Back a few years ago a man by the name of "Felix Baumgartner boarded a special craft and was raised by a huge high altitude balloon to an altitude of 24-miles or 39-kilometers... and jumped out of his craft and the rest is history... I am not going to spoil the video, but I will tell you that the video starts out a tad slow, but it soon takes you through all the steps all the way to 24-miles above the Earth and then this man's supersonic free fall...

"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU WATCH THIS ON THE LARGEST SCREEN YOU HAVE ACCESS TO" as it is quite amazing... No further words, just watch and ENJOY!!!

I don't think so! Realize a balloon doesn't necessarily equate with a perfectly good airplane but still crazy! Great share though.

I didn't know what to call it Jack, so I called it a "special craft"... Not sure I would want to take a balloon trip up 24 miles..., but I guess a jet plane would not work in this instance... In my view this guy had to have a few loose screws to take this on... LOL!
