Ok. So he did the worlds highest skydive and did experiments with an open air Gondola helium balloon.
People really need to put more information on threads for those of us who are not aware who these people are. I do agree that he a remarkable man and has led a remarkable life... Here is wikipedia's page on him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kittinger Cheers Col

The guy in the first picture is Felix Baumgartner. He is trying to break Kittinger's world record skydive by jumping from 36km above the earth.
