I hope that red bull gives him wings for real 
People been trying to break Joe Kittenger's record from 1960 for years. Joe's a living legend; still alive and living in FL. I hope that suit's got some HEAT, have you got any idea how COLD it is up there?
Highest I've ever jumped is about 23k prebreathing O2 to altitude. It's COLD and there's not much to fly with I think the TN (civilian) record is about 31K with a bailout bottle. There were some guys doing it down in Memphis for awhile but I think the one jump cost like $400, and there's not much in it except to say that I did it.. I can't imagine the altitude Felix is gonna try it at - waaay too many things can kill you at that height.
