deltron80 0 #1 July 7, 2010 Attached is a photo of Felix Baumgarter from today's New York Post. Caption reads: "Felix Baumgarter works in the air over the Perris, CA. desert where he jumped from a plane at 26,000 feet in order to test the chest pack and full pressure suit."

Southern_Man 0 #7 July 7, 2010 Will he do higher tests than this? Like a jump or two from 40,000 feet? Or is this it? I assume? he will do some pressure chamber testing, too?"What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StefB 0 #9 July 7, 2010 See @ www.pureskydive.com Red Bull Video reveals next-gen space suit and pressure helmet designed specifically for Red Bull Stratos mission March 31st, 2010 @ darklow http://www.pureskydive.com/2010/03/red-bull-video-reveals-next-gen-space-suit-and-pressure-helmet-designed-specifically-for-red-bull-stratos-mission/ There is a jump from a helicopter N340PM @ clock 0:59 and 2:20 in the video. But this might be another jump than in the photo, because the service ceiling of this heli is way lower then 26000 ft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocopter_AS350) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The difference with Cheryl is on the day the event finally was going to happen, you'd know she'd actually done the deed. There'd be actual documentation of the event.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #17 July 7, 2010 QuoteWhy does anyone care? And why the attitude? Because I'm jealous. Obviously. Either that or I think Baumgartner a bit of a sham based on some of his past exploits.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
