Parachute jump from edge of space (vid)

RedKnight

Corny music, but the video is something amazing. Joe Kittinger jumped from a height of 102,800 feet and parachuted back to Earth. All back in 1960. I've seen the footage before, but this is a neat mix that climaxes in better footage of the event.

And, a long video with an interview with Kittinger about the jump.
