Baumgartner will climb to 36,576 metres (120,000 feet) in a special pressurized capsule that will use a 140-metre helium balloon to lift it to the edge of space. Then wearing a special spacesuit, like those worn by NASA astronauts, he will step out of the capsule and free fall to Earth, breaking the speed of sound after about 35 seconds. He is expected to travel 1,190 km/h. If all goes well, Baumgartner hopes he will also break three other world records that have remained unbroken for about 50 years, includingthe highest manned balloon flight; the highest skydive and the longest free fall. One puncture to his suit could mean instant death. The air pressure is so thin that without oxygen he would suffocate. His blood would boil because the boiling point of liquids fall as pressure falls. After five minutes of free fall, Baumgartner plans to open his […]
