One of the best things about science is that it is about experimenting and observing, trying different things different ways and seeing what those effects are. The Stratos mission is a work in progress, they have experienced delays and are at the mercy of weather and equipment performance. Read below and watch on Sunday to see if they make it this time.....
The Mission:
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.
