Alot of you have probably heard about this, but yesterday they did their first manned flight. Here is the link to the video on redbull.

I guess they went to 71,000 feet.



Just wish they showed the freefall.

13 miles up. Ultimate goal is 27 miles.


Though I still think what this guy did was better. Guy did 20 miles in 1960 before we even got to the moon.

dude. shit is wild. there are hundreds of countries who dont, or ever will, have a space program and here some billionaire from austria is sending people to space just to break a record. red bull is seriously its own country. i dont drink energy drinks or anything, but the amount of resources the company puts into our sport and community alone is worth the purchase of some carbonated bull semen every now and then

Seriously. I wonder how it must feel create a good tasting energy drink one day, then be sending people to space because you feel like it, the next.

Redbull does the coolest stuff. I can't believe is guy is going to try to jump more than 20 miles this summer. I wonder how much this costs combining the practice jump and the one this summer
