Felix Baumgartner set four new records yesterday, after jumping from a height at the edge of space:
- Highest manned balloon flight – More than 36,000 meters
- Freefall from highest altitude – More than 36,000 meters
- Supersonic speed in freefall – Faster than Mach 1
- Longest freefall time – More than 5 minutes and 35 seconds
This amazing feat of ‘Fearless Felix’ is clearly a boost in today’s bad economy, as sponsors Red Bull will surely find out! 😀
Meanwhile, uber-domainer Frank Schilling can claim his own piece of the action, as the owner of EdgeOfSpace.com – a domain he acquired less than two years ago, according to DomainTools.
Congratulations to Felix Baumgartner for the achievement and to Frank for the edgy domain! 😀
That really felt like back in 1969!! Even tough i was just born.
Frank must have known something..this jump was a result of 5 years planning.
Mike – Space innovation is a reminder of what can be achieved by humans for humanity. Definitely a great moment in history.
