In 1960 Joe Kittinger jumped from an altitude of 31,200m (102,800ft) setting several records, one which remains unbroken!
(Update : Felix Baumgartner, with the help of Red Bull and guidance from Joe himself, has now broken highest ascent, highest parachute jump and fastest speed)
Dnb Track is "Balderdash - Marcus Intalex"
Why didn't he burn up?
Basically, he wasn't going fast enough to 'burn'. The air gradually gets thicker, and so he slows down gradually without getting hot enough to combust (though I wouldn't recommend this with bare skin!)
Things that do 'burn up' in the atmosphere due to friction are moving at much higher speeds. For example, the space shuttle re-enters the atmosphere at around 28,000km/h (17,000mph) though is able to deflect the heat with it's ceramic tiled underside.
Meteors (shooting stars) are moving at even greater speeds, and usually disintegrate completely before reaching the ground

As jets flew higher and faster in the 1950s, the Air Force became increasingly worried about the safety of crews who had to eject at high altitude. Joe Kittinger was the first man to test a newly designed suit that protected pilots upon ejection.

On August 16, 1960, Joseph Kittinger jumped his last Excelsior jump, doing so from an air-thin height of 102,800 feet (31,334 meters). From that nearly 20 miles altitude, his tumble toward terra firma took some 4 minutes and 36 seconds. Exceeding the speed of sound during the fall, Kittinger used a small stabilizing chute before a larger, main parachute opened in the denser atmosphere. He safely touched down in barren New Mexico desert, 13 minutes 45 seconds after he vaulted into the void. The jump set records that still stand today, among them, the highest parachute jump, the longest freefall, and the fastest speed ever attained by a human through the atmosphere. Somewhat in contention is Kittinger's use of the small parachute for stabilization during his record-setting fall. Roger Eugene Andreyev, a Russian, is touted as holding the world's free fall record of 80,325 feet (24,483 meters), made on November 1, 1962.

Col. Kittinger entered military service in March 1949 as an aviation cadet and was commissioned a second lieutenant in March 1950. Following a tour with the 86th Fighter Bomber Wing in Germany, he was assigned to the Air Force Missile Development Center at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M.
In 1957 he made the first flight of the Manhigh program, which was designed to study cosmic rays and test human physical and mental capabilities when traveling at extremely high altitudes. On this flight he set a balloon altitude record of nearly 97,000 feet while wearing a full pressure suit inside a tiny sealed gondola - an accomplishment for which he was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross.
Appointed Test Director of Project Excelsior, he made his most significant jump on Aug. 16, 1960, when he stepped from a balloon-supported gondola at the altitude of 102,800 feet to test the use of a parachute for escape from a space capsule or high-altitude aircraft. In free-fall for 4.5 minutes at speeds up to 614 mph and temperatures as low as -94 degrees Fahrenheit, Col. Kittinger opened his parachute at 18,000 feet. The jump set records that still stand today: the highest ascent in a balloon, the highest parachute jump, the longest free-fall, and the fastest speed by a man through the atmosphere.
In 1962, Col. Kittinger and Astronomer William C. White took part in Project Stargazer, a balloon astronomy experiment in which they hovered for 18.5 hours to check variations in the brightness of star images.
Col. Kittinger changed his focus later that decade and volunteered for three combat tours in Vietnam. He flew a total of 483 missions in Southeast Asia during the war, and served as commander of the famous 555th "Triple Nickel" Tactical Fighter Squadron flying F-4s. He downed a MiG-21 before he himself was shot down on May 11, 1972, after which he spent 11 months in captivity as a prisoner of war.
He retired as a colonel in 1978, and went on to win the Gordon-Bennett balloon races in 1982, 1984 and 1985, before accomplishing his most ambitious feat - a solo balloon crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. The flight went from Maine to Italy, lasting 86 hours and upon completion Col. Kittinger became the first person to fly a balloon alone across the Atlantic Ocean.
In the later part of his career, he operated Rosie O'Grady's Flying Circus, offering hot air balloon rides and airplane banner towing in Orlando.

In the 50's, Air Force Captain Joseph Kittinger set the record for the highest balloon ascent, and the longest sky dive. In 2012 those records were broken.
Joseph William Kittinger II (born July 27, 1928) is a retired Colonel in the United States Air Force and a USAF Command Pilot. Following his initial operational assignment in fighter aircraft, he participated in Project Manhigh and Project Excelsior in 1960, setting a world record for the longest skydive from a height greater than 31 kilometres (19 mi). He was also the first man to make a solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in a gas balloon.Serving as a fighter pilot during the Vietnam War, he achieved an aerial kill of a North Vietnamese MiG-21 jet fighter and was later shot down himself, spending 11 months as a prisoner of war in a North Vietnamese prison.
In 2012, at the age of 84, he participated in the Red Bull Stratos project as capsule communicator, directing Felix Baumgartner on his record-breaking 39-kilometer (24 mi) freefall from Earth's stratosphere, exceeding Kittinger's earlier freefall in 1960.
Felix Baumgartner born 20 April 1969 is an Austrian skydiver, daredevil and BASE jumper. He set world records for skydiving an estimated 39 km (24 mi), reaching an estimated speed of 1,357.64 km/h (843.6 mph), or Mach 1.25, on 14 October 2012, and became the first person to break the sound barrier without vehicular power relative to the surface on his descent. He broke skydiving records for exit altitude, vertical freefall distance without drogue, and vertical speed without drogue. Though he still holds the latter records, the first was broken two years later, when on 24 October 2014, Alan Eustace jumped from 135,890 feet - or, 41.42 km (25.74 mi) with a drogue. Baumgartner is also renowned for the particularly dangerous nature of the stunts he has performed during his career. Baumgartner spent time in the Austrian military where he practiced parachute jumping, including training to land on small target zones. Baumgartner's most recent project was Red Bull Stratos, in which he jumped to Earth from a helium balloon in the stratosphere on 14 October 2012. As part of this project, he set the maximum vertical speed without drogue, highest exit altitude for a parachutist, and greatest vertical distance of free-fall

5 People Who Actually Jumped From Space
"All Copyrights owned by Felix Baumgartner, Red Bull Stratos & their respective owners."
5.Joseph Kittinger
Joseph William Kittinger is a retired Colonel in the United States Air Force and a USAF Command Pilot.
Following his initial operational assignment in fighter aircraft, he participated in Project Manhigh and Project Excelsior in 1960, setting a world record for the longest skydive from a height greater than 31 kilometres. He was also the first man to make a solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in a gas balloon.
Joe Kittinger made history as he ascended to 102,800 feet in a high-altitude balloon and jumped to Earth, setting four world records.
Of the jumps from Excelsior, Kittinger said:
"There's no way you can visualize the speed. There's nothing you can see to see how fast you're going. You have no depth perception. If you're in a car driving down the road and you close your eyes, you have no idea what your speed is. It's the same thing if you're free falling from space. There are no signposts. You know you are going very fast, but you don't feel it. You don't have a 614-mph wind blowing on you. I could only hear myself breathing in the helmet."

4. Eugene Andreev
Eugene Andreev was a colonel in the Soviet Air Force. Andreyev set an official record for the longest-distance free-fall parachute jump on 1 November 1962, which the Guinness Book of Records put at 24,500 meters.
On 1 November 1962, Eugene Andreev jumped from an altitude of 25,458 m over the Soviet city of Volsk. Opening his parachute at 958 m. He covered a record distance of 24,500 m in free-fall.

3. Nick Piantanida
Nicholas John Piantanida was an American amateur parachute jumper who reached 123,500 feet with his Strato Jump II balloon on February 2, 1966, flying a manned balloon higher than anyone before.
Strato Jump launched perfectly on May 1, 1966, climbing past 50,000 feet without any problems. Everyone was relaxed, excited even. This was going to work. And then, it didn’t. Ground control heard what was generally described as a "whoosh" of rushing air, a cut-off call over the radio and the deployment of an emergency parachute. When the ground crew found Piantanida 26 minutes later, he was barely conscious. When he arrived at the hospital, he had already lapsed into a coma.
Piantanida suffered brain damage from a lack of oxygen and he died four months later at the Veterans Hospital in Philadelphia.

WIKIPEDIA: Project Excelsior:
Captain Kittinger was next assigned to the Aerospace Medical Research Laboratories at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. For Project Excelsior (meaning "ever upward"), a name given to the project by Colonel Stapp as part of research into high altitude bailouts,[citation needed] he made a series of three extreme altitude parachute jumps from an open gondola carried aloft by large helium balloons.
Kittinger's first high-altitude jump, from about 76,400 feet (23,300 m) on November 16, 1959, was a near-disaster when an equipment malfunction caused him to lose consciousness.[2] The automatic parachute opener in his equipment saved his life. He went into a flat spin at a rotational velocity of about 120 rpm. The g-forces at his extremities have been calculated to be over 22 times the force of gravity, setting another record.[citation needed] On December 11, 1959, he jumped again from about 74,700 feet (22,800 m). For that leap, Kittinger was awarded the A. Leo Stevens Parachute Medal.[3]
Kittinger's record-breaking skydive
On August 16, 1960, he made the final jump from the Excelsior III at 102,800 feet (31,300 m).[2] Towing a small drogue parachute for initial stabilization, he fell for four minutes and 36 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 614 miles per hour (988 km/h)[4][5] before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m). Pressurization for his right glove malfunctioned during the ascent, and his right hand swelled up to twice its normal size.[6][7] He set historical numbers for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest drogue-fall (four minutes), and fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere.[8] These are still current USAF records, but were not submitted for aerospace world records to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).[citation needed]
These jumps were made in a "rocking-chair" position, descending on his back, rather than in the usual face-down position familiar to skydivers. This was because he was wearing a 60 lb (27 kg) "kit" on his behind, and his pressure suit naturally formed a sitting shape when it was inflated, a shape appropriate for sitting in an airplane cockpit.[citation needed] For this series of jumps, Kittinger was decorated with a second Distinguished Flying Cross, and he was awarded the Harmon Trophy by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.[9]

On August 16, 1960 USAF Colonel Joe Kittinger made a jump in aid of space research for NASA. Launching himself from the Excelsior III balloon at 102,800 feet (3 times the height a commercial jet travels at), he fell reaching the speed of sound before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m). He set records for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest drogue-fall (14 min) and fastest speed by a man through the atmosphere unaided by a vehicle. His freefall of 4 minutes and 36 seconds - the length of this film - remains a record even after Felix Baumgartner's 2012 jump.
The track is called "Colonel Joe" by a UK band called Alphaspin (http://www.facebook.com/alphaspin).

Early life and military career
Born in Tampa, Florida, Kittinger was educated at the Bolles School in Jacksonville, Florida, and the University of Florida. After racing speedboats as a teenager, he entered the U.S. Air Force in March 1949. On completion of aviation cadet training in March 1950, he received a USAF Pilot rating and a commission as a Second Lieutenant. He was subsequently assigned to the 86th Fighter-Bomber Wing based at Ramstein Air Base in West Germany, flying the F-84 Thunderjet and F-86 Sabre.

I could only hear myself breathing in the helmet." http://www.redbullstratos.com/the-team/joe-kittinger/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kittinger 4. Eugene Andreev Eugene Andreev was a colonel in the Soviet Air Force. Andreyev set an official record for the longest-distance free-fall parachute jump on 1 November 1962, which the Guinness Book of Records put at 24,500 meters. On 1 November 1962, Eugene Andreev jumped from an altitude of 25,458 m over the Soviet city of Volsk. Opening his parachute at 958 m. He covered a record distance of 24,500 m in free-fall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yevgeni_Nikolayevich_Andreyev http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/highest-freefall-parachute-jump-%28official-fai%29/ http://parachutehistory.com/skydive/records/highalt/index.html 3. Nick Piantanida Nicholas John Piantanida was an American amateur parachute jumper who reached 123,500 feet with his Strato Jump II balloon on February 2, 1966, flying a manned balloon higher than anyone before. Strato Jump launched perfectly on May 1, 1966, climbing past 50,000 feet without any problems. Everyone was relaxed, excited even. This was going to work. And then, it didn’t. Ground control heard what was generally described as a "whoosh" of rushing air, a cut-off call over the radio and the deployment of an emergency parachute. When the ground crew found Piantanida 26 minutes later, he was barely conscious. When he arrived at the hospital, he had already lapsed into a coma. Piantanida suffered brain damage from a lack of oxygen and he died four months later at the Veterans Hospital in Philadelphia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Piantanida http://heavy.com/sports/2015/07/nick-piantanida-angry-sky-espn-30-for-30-death-wife-janice-mcdowell-family-parachute/ 2. Felix Baumgartner Felix Baumgartner is an Austrian skydiver, daredevil and BASE jumper. He broke skydiving records for exit altitude, vertical freefall distance without drogue, and vertical speed without drogue. He set world records for skydiving an estimated 39 km, reaching an estimated speed of 1,357.64 km/h on 14 October 2012, and became the first person to break the sound barrier without vehicular power relative to the surface on his descent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Baumgartner http://www.redbullstratos.com/the-team/felix-baumgartner/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10610580/New-first-person-footage-of-Felix-Baumgartners-jump-from-space.html http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/25/science/alan-eustace-jumps-from-stratosphere-breaking-felix-baumgartners-world-record.html?_r=0 1.

Since October 24, 2014, he holds the world record for the highest-altitude free-fall jump. He reached a reported maximum altitude of 135,908 feet. His descent to Earth lasted 15 minutes and stretched nearly 42 km with peak speeds exceeding 1,322.00 km/h, setting new world records for the highest free-fall jump, and total free-fall distance of 123,334 feet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Eustace http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/25/science/alan-eustace-jumps-from-stratosphere-breaking-felix-baumgartners-world-record.html?_r=0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_diving Audio Credits : Aftermath - Madness Paranoia by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100575 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ Follow Us : Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/TrendingCompiles Twitter : https://twitter.com/TrendingCompile Pinterest : https://www.pinterest.com/TrendingCompile/ Google+ : https://plus.google.com/106574573326540343355 -

WIKIPEDIA: Project Excelsior: Captain Kittinger was next assigned to the Aerospace Medical Research Laboratories at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. For Project Excelsior (meaning "ever upward"), a name given to the project by Colonel Stapp as part of research into high altitude bailouts,[citation needed] he made a series of three extreme altitude parachute jumps from an open gondola carried aloft by large helium balloons. Kittinger's first high-altitude jump, from about 76,400 feet (23,300 m) on November 16, 1959, was a near-disaster when an equipment malfunction caused him to lose consciousness.[2] The automatic parachute opener in his equipment saved his life. He went into a flat spin at a rotational velocity of about 120 rpm. The g-forces at his extremities have been calculated to be over 22 times the force of gravity, setting another record.[citation needed] On December 11, 1959, he jumped again from about 74,700 feet (22,800 m). For that leap, Kittinger was awarded the A. Leo Stevens Parachute Medal.[3] Kittinger's record-breaking skydive On August 16, 1960, he made the final jump from the Excelsior III at 102,800 feet (31,300 m).[2] Towing a small drogue parachute for initial stabilization, he fell for four minutes and 36 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 614 miles per hour (988 km/h)[4][5] before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m). Pressurization for his right glove malfunctioned during the ascent, and his right hand swelled up to twice its normal size.[6][7] He set historical numbers for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest drogue-fall (four minutes), and fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere.[8] These are still current USAF records, but were not submitted for aerospace world records to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).[citation needed] These jumps were made in a "rocking-chair" position, descending on his back, rather than in the usual face-down position familiar to skydivers. This was because he was wearing a 60 lb (27 kg) "kit" on his behind, and his pressure suit naturally formed a sitting shape when it was inflated, a shape appropriate for sitting in an airplane cockpit.[citation needed] For this series of jumps, Kittinger was decorated with a second Distinguished Flying Cross, and he was awarded the Harmon Trophy by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.[9] -

On August 16, 1960 USAF Colonel Joe Kittinger made a jump in aid of space research for NASA. Launching himself from the Excelsior III balloon at 102,800 feet (3 times the height a commercial jet travels at), he fell reaching the speed of sound before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m). He set records for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest drogue-fall (14 min) and fastest speed by a man through the atmosphere unaided by a vehicle. His freefall of 4 minutes and 36 seconds - the length of this film - remains a record even after Felix Baumgartner's 2012 jump. The track is called "Colonel Joe" by a UK band called Alphaspin (http://www.facebook.com/alphaspin).

(Update : Felix Baumgartner, with the help of Red Bull and guidance from Joe himself, has now broken highest ascent, highest parachute jump and fastest speed) Dnb Track is "Balderdash - Marcus Intalex" Why didn't he burn up? Basically, he wasn't going fast enough to 'burn'. The air gradually gets thicker, and so he slows down gradually without getting hot enough to combust (though I wouldn't recommend this with bare skin!) Things that do 'burn up' in the atmosphere due to friction are moving at much higher speeds. For example, the space shuttle re-enters the atmosphere at around 28,000km/h (17,000mph) though is able to deflect the heat with it's ceramic tiled undersid...

Joseph W. Kittinger - Skydiving From The Edge Of The World
On August 16, 1960, Joseph Kittinger jumped his last Excelsior jump, doing so from an air-thin height of 102,800 feet (31,334 meters). From that nearly 20 miles altitude, his tumble toward terra firma took some 4 minutes and 36 seconds. Exceeding the speed of sound during the fall, Kittinger used a small stabilizing chute before a larger, main parachute opened in the denser atmosphere. He safely touched down in barren New Mexico desert, 13 minutes 45 seconds after he vaulted into the void. The jump set records that still stand today, among them, the highest parachute jump, the longest freefall, and the fastest speed ever attained by a human through the atmosphere.

In 1957 he made the first flight of the Manhigh program, which was designed to study cosmic rays and test human physical and mental capabilities when traveling at extremely high altitudes. On this flight he set a balloon altitude record of nearly 97,000 feet while wearing a full pressure suit inside a tiny sealed gondola - an accomplishment for which he was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross.
Appointed Test Director of Project Excelsior, he made his most significant jump on Aug. 16, 1960, when he stepped from a balloon-supported gondola at the altitude of 102,800 feet to test the use of a parachute for escape from a space capsule or high-altitude aircraft. In free-fall for 4.5 minutes at speeds up to 614 mph and temperatures as low as -94 degrees Fahrenheit, Col. Kittinger opened his parachute at 18,000 feet. The jump set records that still stand today: the highest ascent in a balloon, the highest parachute jump, the longest free-fall, and the fastest speed by a man through the atmosphere.
In 1962, Col. Kittinger and Astronomer William C. White took part in Project Stargazer, a balloon astronomy experiment in which they hovered for 18.5 hours to check variations in the brightness of star images.
Col. Kittinger changed his focus later that decade and volunteered for three combat tours in Vietnam. He flew a total of 483 missions in Southeast Asia during the war, and served as commander of the famous 555th "Triple Nickel" Tactical Fighter Squadron flying F-4s. He downed a MiG-21 before he himself was shot down on May 11, 1972, after which he spent 11 months in captivity as a prisoner of war.
He retired as a colonel in 1978, and went on to win the Gordon-Bennett balloon races in 1982, 1984 and 1985, before accomplishing his most ambitious feat - a solo balloon crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. The flight went from Maine to Italy, lasting 86 hours and upon completion Col. Kittinger became the first person to fly a balloon alone across the Atlantic Ocean.
In the later part of his career, he operated Rosie O'Grady's Flying Circus, offering hot air balloon rides and airplane banner towing in Orlando.

In the 50's, Air Force Captain Joseph Kittinger set the record for the highest balloon ascent, and the longest sky dive. In 2012 those records were broken.
Joseph William Kittinger II (born July 27, 1928) is a retired Colonel in the United States Air Force and a USAF Command Pilot. Following his initial operational assignment in fighter aircraft, he participated in Project Manhigh and Project Excelsior in 1960, setting a world record for the longest skydive from a height greater than 31 kilometres (19 mi). He was also the first man to make a solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in a gas balloon.Serving as a fighter pilot during the Vietnam War, he achieved an aerial kill of a North Vietnamese MiG-21 jet fighter and was later shot down himself, spending 11 months as a prisoner of war in a North Vietnamese prison.
In 2012, at the age of 84, he participated in the Red Bull Stratos project as capsule communicator, directing Felix Baumgartner on his record-breaking 39-kilometer (24 mi) freefall from Earth's stratosphere, exceeding Kittinger's earlier freefall in 1960.
Felix Baumgartner born 20 April 1969 is an Austrian skydiver, daredevil and BASE jumper. He set world records for skydiving an estimated 39 km (24 mi), reaching an estimated speed of 1,357.64 km/h (843.6 mph), or Mach 1.25, on 14 October 2012, and became the first person to break the sound barrier without vehicular power relative to the surface on his descent. He broke skydiving records for exit altitude, vertical freefall distance without drogue, and vertical speed without drogue. Though he still holds the latter records, the first was broken two years later, when on 24 October 2014, Alan Eustace jumped from 135,890 feet - or, 41.42 km (25.74 mi) with a drogue. Baumgartner is also renowned for the particularly dangerous nature of the stunts he has performed during his career. Baumgartner spent time in the Austrian military where he practiced parachute jumping, including training to land on small target zones. Baumgartner's most recent project was Red Bull Stratos, in which he jumped to Earth from a helium balloon in the stratosphere on 14 October 2012. As part of this project, he set the maximum vertical speed without drogue, highest exit altitude for a parachutist, and greatest vertical distance of free-fall

In 2012, at the age of 84, he participated in the Red Bull Stratos project as capsule communicator, directing Felix Baumgartner on his record-breaking 39-kilometer (24 mi) freefall from Earth's stratosphere, exceeding Kittinger's earlier freefall in 1960.
Felix Baumgartner born 20 April 1969 is an Austrian skydiver, daredevil and BASE jumper. He set world records for skydiving an estimated 39 km (24 mi), reaching an estimated speed of 1,357.64 km/h (843.6 mph), or Mach 1.25, on 14 October 2012, and became the first person to break the sound barrier without vehicular power relative to the surface on his descent. He broke skydiving records for exit altitude, vertical freefall distance without drogue, and vertical speed without drogue. Though he still holds the latter records, the first was broken two years later, when on 24 October 2014, Alan Eustace jumped from 135,890 feet - or, 41.42 km (25.74 mi) with a drogue. Baumgartner is also renowned for the particularly dangerous nature of the stunts he has performed during his career. Baumgartner spent time in the Austrian military where he practiced parachute jumping, including training to land on small target zones. Baumgartner's most recent project was Red Bull Stratos, in which he jumped to Earth from a helium balloon in the stratosphere on 14 October 2012. As part of this project, he set the maximum vertical speed without drogue, highest exit altitude for a parachutist, and greatest vertical distance of free-fall

Following his initial operational assignment in fighter aircraft, he participated in Project Manhigh and Project Excelsior in 1960, setting a world record for the longest skydive from a height greater than 31 kilometres. He was also the first man to make a solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in a gas balloon.
Joe Kittinger made history as he ascended to 102,800 feet in a high-altitude balloon and jumped to Earth, setting four world records.
Of the jumps from Excelsior, Kittinger said:
"There's no way you can visualize the speed. There's nothing you can see to see how fast you're going. You have no depth perception. If you're in a car driving down the road and you close your eyes, you have no idea what your speed is. It's the same thing if you're free falling from space. There are no signposts. You know you are going very fast, but you don't feel it. You don't have a 614-mph wind blowing on you. I could only hear myself breathing in the helmet."

Eugene Andreev was a colonel in the Soviet Air Force. Andreyev set an official record for the longest-distance free-fall parachute jump on 1 November 1962, which the Guinness Book of Records put at 24,500 meters.
On 1 November 1962, Eugene Andreev jumped from an altitude of 25,458 m over the Soviet city of Volsk. Opening his parachute at 958 m. He covered a record distance of 24,500 m in free-fall.

3. Nick Piantanida
Nicholas John Piantanida was an American amateur parachute jumper who reached 123,500 feet with his Strato Jump II balloon on February 2, 1966, flying a manned balloon higher than anyone before.
Strato Jump launched perfectly on May 1, 1966, climbing past 50,000 feet without any problems. Everyone was relaxed, excited even. This was going to work. And then, it didn’t. Ground control heard what was generally described as a "whoosh" of rushing air, a cut-off call over the radio and the deployment of an emergency parachute. When the ground crew found Piantanida 26 minutes later, he was barely conscious. When he arrived at the hospital, he had already lapsed into a coma.
Piantanida suffered brain damage from a lack of oxygen and he died four months later at the Veterans Hospital in Philadelphia.

WIKIPEDIA: Project Excelsior:
Captain Kittinger was next assigned to the Aerospace Medical Research Laboratories at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. For Project Excelsior (meaning "ever upward"), a name given to the project by Colonel Stapp as part of research into high altitude bailouts,[citation needed] he made a series of three extreme altitude parachute jumps from an open gondola carried aloft by large helium balloons.
Kittinger's first high-altitude jump, from about 76,400 feet (23,300 m) on November 16, 1959, was a near-disaster when an equipment malfunction caused him to lose consciousness.[2] The automatic parachute opener in his equipment saved his life. He went into a flat spin at a rotational velocity of about 120 rpm. The g-forces at his extremities have been calculated to be over 22 times the force of gravity, setting another record.[citation needed] On December 11, 1959, he jumped again from about 74,700 feet (22,800 m). For that leap, Kittinger was awarded the A. Leo Stevens Parachute Medal.[3]
Kittinger's record-breaking skydive
On August 16, 1960, he made the final jump from the Excelsior III at 102,800 feet (31,300 m).[2] Towing a small drogue parachute for initial stabilization, he fell for four minutes and 36 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 614 miles per hour (988 km/h)[4][5] before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m). Pressurization for his right glove malfunctioned during the ascent, and his right hand swelled up to twice its normal size.[6][7] He set historical numbers for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest drogue-fall (four minutes), and fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere.[8] These are still current USAF records, but were not submitted for aerospace world records to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).[citation needed]
These jumps were made in a "rocking-chair" position, descending on his back, rather than in the usual face-down position familiar to skydivers. This was because he was wearing a 60 lb (27 kg) "kit" on his behind, and his pressure suit naturally formed a sitting shape when it was inflated, a shape appropriate for sitting in an airplane cockpit.[citation needed] For this series of jumps, Kittinger was decorated with a second Distinguished Flying Cross, and he was awarded the Harmon Trophy by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.[9]

On August 16, 1960 USAF Colonel Joe Kittinger made a jump in aid of space research for NASA. Launching himself from the Excelsior III balloon at 102,800 feet (3 times the height a commercial jet travels at), he fell reaching the speed of sound before opening his parachute at 18,000 feet (5,500 m). He set records for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest drogue-fall (14 min) and fastest speed by a man through the atmosphere unaided by a vehicle. His freefall of 4 minutes and 36 seconds - the length of this film - remains a record even after Felix Baumgartner's 2012 jump.

Joseph William Kittinger II (born July 27, 1928) is a retired Colonel in the United States Air Force and a USAF Command Pilot. Following his initial operational assignment in fighter aircraft, he participated in Project Manhigh and Project Excelsior in 1960, setting a world record for the longest skydive from a height greater than 31 kilometres (19 mi).] He was also the first man to make a solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in a gas balloon.
Serving as a fighter pilot during the Vietnam War, he achieved an aerial kill of a North Vietnamese MiG-21 jet fighter and was later shot down himself, spending 11 months as a prisoner of war in a North Vietnamese prison.
In 2012, at the age of 84, he participated in the Red Bull Stratos project as capsule communicator, directing Felix Baumgartner on his record-breaking 39-kilometer (24 mi) freefall from Earth's stratosphere, exceeding Kittinger's earlier freefall in 1960.

színes, magyarul beszélő, német dokumentumfilm, 52 perc, 2007
Egy férfi áll űrruhában egy nyitott kabin szélén; a Föld 30 km-rel a háta mögött. Előredől, elrugaszkodik, majd zuhan, zuhan és zuhan - mintegy öt percig. Máig sem tudja senki a vakmerő szabadugró nevét. Ahogy azt sem, hogy Joseph Kittinger Jr. és társa, David Simons voltak az első emberek, akik a világűrben jártak. Az 1950-es évek végén órákon át szárnyaltak bolygónk atmoszférája felett, látták Földünk horizontjának ívét és elképzelhetetlen sebességgel hasítottak át a felhőkön. Az űrutazás ikonjaiként számon tartott emberek azonban mások - Jurij Gagarin, Alan Shepard és John Glenn. De évekkel azelőtt, hogy az asztronauták rakétáik segítségével meghódították volna a világűrt, Kittinger és Simons megtették az első, potenciálisan életveszélyes lépéseket. Életük egy vékony műanyaglapon függött - mivel ebből az anyagból készült az a hatalmas léggömb, amely ilyen nagy magasságra repítette őket. A levegőnél könnyebb héliummal töltött ballonok egy apró űrkapszulában szállították a két férfit ilyen kalandos magasságokba. Az amerikai légierő tagjai voltak, és egy nehéz körülmények között zajló kutatási programban vettek részt az új-mexikói Holloman légi támaszponton, repüléseikkel hat rekordot is felállítva 1957 és 1960 között.

Raccontiamo le storie poco note di uomini che hanno partecipato a pericolosi esperimenti scientifici nella stratosfera e che, grazie ai loro sforzi, hanno permesso alla scienza di compiere passi rivoluzionari.
In una pacifica di Agosto del 1960, il capitano dell’Air Force Joseph Kittinger decollò dal New Mexico a bordo di un pallone aerostatico alimentato a elio, fluttuando verso l’alto tra le nuvole. Quando superò i 30.000 metri d’altezza, circa 32 km sopra la Terra, Kittinger staccò le sue riserve d’ossigeno a bordo, recitò una preghiera e si gettò nel vuoto. In pochi secondi stava sfrecciando a a una velocità elevatissima attraverso le varie temperature, raggiungendo i cento gradi sotto zero. L’impresa di Kittinger era parte di un programma di ricerca chiamato “Project Manhigh”, che mise alla prova i limiti della resistenza umana ai confini dello spazio, quasi dieci anni prima che il Presidente John F. Kennedy si ponesse come obiettivo di mandare l’uomo sulla Luna. Questo pioneristico gruppo di scienziati e piloti dell’Air Force raccolse dati sui parametri biologici e tecnici richiesti dall’uomo per una missione nello spazio. “Gli uomini dello spazio” racconta la poco conosciuta storia degli uomini che posero le fondamenta per il lavoro della NASA, rendendo il sogno di mandare l’uomo nello spazio una realtà concreta.

Red Bull Stratos, a mission to the edge of space, will attempt to transcend human limits that have existed for 50 years. Supported by a team of experts Felix Baumgartner plans to ascend to 120,000 feet in a stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump rushing toward earth at supersonic speeds before parachuting to the ground. His attempt to dare atmospheric limits holds the potential to provide valuable medical and scientific research data for future pioneers.
The Red Bull Stratos team brings together the world's leading minds in aerospace medicine, engineering, pressure suit development, capsule creation and balloon fabrication. It includes retired United States Air Force Colonel Joseph Kittinger, who holds three of the records Felix will strive to break.
Joe's record jump from 102,800 ft in 1960 was during a time when no one knew if a human could survive a jump from the edge of space. Joe was a Captain in the U.S. Air Force and had already taken a balloon to 97,000 feet in Project ManHigh and survived a drogue mishap during a jump from 76,400 feet in Excelsior I. The Excelsior III mission was his 33rd parachute jump.
Although researching extremes was part of the program's goals, setting records wasn't the mission's purpose. Joe ascended in helium balloon launched from the back of a truck. He wore a pressurized suit on the way up in an open, unpressurized gondola. Scientific data captured from Joe's jump was shared with U.S. research personnel for development of the space program. Today Felix and his specialized team hope to take what was learned from Joe's jumps more than 50 years ago and press forward to test the edge of the human envelope.
Red Bull Stratos, une mission à la frontière de l'espace, va tenter de transcender les limites humaines qui ont existé pendant 50 ans. Soutenu par une équipe d'experts Felix Baumgartner prévoit de monter à 120.000 pieds dans un ballon stratosphérique et faire un saut en chute libre se précipiter vers la terre à des vitesses supersoniques devant le parachutisme au sol. Sa tentative d'oser limites de l'atmosphère a le potentiel de fournir de précieuses données de recherche médicale et scientifique pour les pionniers à venir.
Le Red Bull Stratos équipe rassemble les plus grands esprits du monde dans le domaine aérospatial médecine, l'ingénierie, poursuite du développement pression capsule de création et de fabrication de ballon.

wn.com/Red Bull Stratos Freefall From The Edge Of Space Felix Baumgartner October 14Th 2012
Red Bull Stratos, a mission to the edge of space, will attempt to transcend human limits that have existed for 50 years. Supported by a team of experts Felix Baumgartner plans to ascend to 120,000 feet in a stratospheric balloon and make a freefall jump rushing toward earth at supersonic speeds before parachuting to the ground. His attempt to dare atmospheric limits holds the potential to provide valuable medical and scientific research data for future pioneers.
The Red Bull Stratos team brings together the world's leading minds in aerospace medicine, engineering, pressure suit development, capsule creation and balloon fabrication. It includes retired United States Air Force Colonel Joseph Kittinger, who holds three of the records Felix will strive to break.
Joe's record jump from 102,800 ft in 1960 was during a time when no one knew if a human could survive a jump from the edge of space. Joe was a Captain in the U.S. Air Force and had already taken a balloon to 97,000 feet in Project ManHigh and survived a drogue mishap during a jump from 76,400 feet in Excelsior I. The Excelsior III mission was his 33rd parachute jump.
Although researching extremes was part of the program's goals, setting records wasn't the mission's purpose. Joe ascended in helium balloon launched from the back of a truck. He wore a pressurized suit on the way up in an open, unpressurized gondola. Scientific data captured from Joe's jump was shared with U.S. research personnel for development of the space program. Today Felix and his specialized team hope to take what was learned from Joe's jumps more than 50 years ago and press forward to test the edge of the human envelope.
Red Bull Stratos, une mission à la frontière de l'espace, va tenter de transcender les limites humaines qui ont existé pendant 50 ans. Soutenu par une équipe d'experts Felix Baumgartner prévoit de monter à 120.000 pieds dans un ballon stratosphérique et faire un saut en chute libre se précipiter vers la terre à des vitesses supersoniques devant le parachutisme au sol. Sa tentative d'oser limites de l'atmosphère a le potentiel de fournir de précieuses données de recherche médicale et scientifique pour les pionniers à venir.
Le Red Bull Stratos équipe rassemble les plus grands esprits du monde dans le domaine aérospatial médecine, l'ingénierie, poursuite du développement pression capsule de création et de fabrication de ballon. Il comprend à la retraite United States Air Force colonel Joseph Kittinger, qui détient trois des dossiers Felix cherchera à briser.
