Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]Kittinger is [URL=http://www.redbullstratos.com/the-team/joe-kittinger/]one of[/URL] the leaders of the Red Bull Stratos team, so I think they are aware of his history. According to the project's website: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]In challenging the current speed record, Felix will attempt to become the first human to break the speed of sound in freefall, attaining Mach 1.0 (about 690 mph). In comparison, a skydiver falling in the standard, belly-down position reaches a top speed of about 120 mph. (Current record, established Aug. 16, 1960, and held by Col. Joseph Kittinger: 614 mph [equivalent to Mach 0.9])[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
