Here is to Mankind and RedBull!! This is just amazing!!

If this is not considered backcountry I am not sure what is.

I held my breath for almost the entire clip. Just amazing... Whats happened to NASA...

To heck with big tires...I need a space suit. Make certain to sit back and whatch this on the big screen with the volume up. Enlarge it or do whatever it takes to watch this in the large version. Just unreal...

Re: Here is to Mankind and RedBull!! This is just amazing!!

I watched it live! (on tv of course :D ) Took a long time to get up that high, couple hours if I remember right....I was jumping up and down in my living room when he went into the spin and finally got out! =D> Then to top it off he landed on his feet and just kind of hung out a few seconds!!
BRAVO RED BULL, MAN KIND, AND TECHNOLOGY THAT MADE THAT HAPPEN!!!! =D> =D> =D>

I watched it live too and I was blown away. 1080p and dramatic music and editing and I was a little misty eyed.

The reflection of the earth in his face shield....could you imagine stepping out onto that platform? That was sick. The quality of video from the Go Pro(s) is amazing.

That was great to see. I watched live when it happened and gasped when he stepped off! I would like to read or see a documentary about the planning and follow-up interviews with Felix and others. Does anyone know if something like that exists?

I watched this live with a bunch of coworkers. I remember when he was in the spin I thought for sure we were watching a man about to die. We cheered when he recovered.

Really amazing.

I've watched this 5 times and it never gets old.

I can old imagine how folks felt watching the Apollo missions live. Watching Felix live was astonishing.
