Red Bull Stratos - freefall from the edge of space

[Rhys Gardiner]

Now that's one shot that will stay with me for a long time: Felix Baumgartner collapsing on to his knees next to his crumpled parachute. How must it feel to be in his shoes at this moment?

 

[Kevin Ascher]

He must have really believed in Red Bull adverts!

Shots that won't be forgotten by many:
- just before jumping
- the parachute opening
- someone embracing him upon landing
- getting down on his knees
- the family's applause (and tears) of relief

This race can do so many beautiful things.

Spent hours watching this on my phone. then when it creeps up to the point where he´s about to jump the stream overloads and i was this close [---] to throw my phone in the wall.

Never saw him jump out, only saw a dot falling in the sky until he got control of himself mid-air.

So... next up? Bolt running 100m on the moon and then jump off it?

For those who missed it, the last minutes in the capsule before the jump + the jump

 

[Hiroshi Awazu]

What a dive, i'm astounded Kudos to Felix!.
