Planetfall




“An Austrian adventurer planning the highest skydive in history has announced that he will make the record attempt later this year.

Felix Baumgartner will jump from a balloon 36.5km (120,000ft) up, where a leak in his pressurised suit could lead to a rapid loss of consciousness.

He will fall so fast that he becomes the first person to go faster than the speed of sound unaided by a machine.

Many have sought to achieve the feat down the decades but all have failed.”

Maybe he will pop like a kernal of corn after he hits the speed of sound. Imagine if he did hit the ground. He would end up like a hotpocket as everything inside the suit was liquified on impact.
