CGI could do this shot 10 years ago. I guess they haven't finished the fake footage yet. [/quote] WTF is wrong with you????? GEEZ man, is EVERYTHING fake to you? Why is it so hard to believe a man can jump and parachute from ONLY 13 miles, he's not even NEAR space yet. Ya know, the dam SR-71 flies at 20 miles up. [/quote]

Skydiving daredevil Felix Baumgartner is more than halfway toward his goal of setting a world record for the highest jump.
He's aiming for nearly 23 miles this summer. The record is 19.5 miles.

Felix Baumgartner will also become the
first person ever to break the sound barrier
while in free fall,
if
his jump is successful.
