Anyone excited to see this so close? Felix Baumgartner is hoping to be the first man to reach Mach 1 during freefall, jumping from a balloon around 23miles off the surface of Earth, jumping from space.
It's a publicity stunt, but also potentially chock full of scientific and medical data that could be used in the near future.
It'll be interesting to see if Baumgartner can survive and beat Kittinger's record that has stood for nearly 50 years, with quite a few failing at attempts to break them, some even having died.
