detroitguy Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 For those that might be interested, an attempt is being made this morning (weather conditions permitting) to be the first time a human being has broken the sound barrier during a free-fall. I really pray that all goes well! The live stream of the event is below. http://www.redbullstratos.com/live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
