Jumping from 102,800 ft. [20 miles up]

August 16, 1960. Joe Kittinger. 102,800 feet. Free fall for 4 1/2 minutes. 900+ KPH.

All of that with 1960′s technology. Those test pilots were crazy! How’s all that sound for a rush? Watch the video and see actual clips from a mounted camera as Kittinger matches the speed of sound.

Watch It
