- This story tells how, 50 years before a historic jump from space, an Air Force captain jumped from nearly the same distance but with a lot less technology to help ensure Air Force Pilots could safely eject from unimaginable altitudes. See more stories at airforce.com/americanairmen.

![Felix Baumgartner Space Jump World Record 2012 Full HD 1080p [FULL]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vvbN-cWe0A0/mqdefault.jpg)
I love his humility in using the word "we" repeatedly instead of "I." Such an impressive feat!
Hands down, especially in 1960. Joe Kittinger is on of the bravest men in the world.Up there with Chuck Yeager and Alex Honnald. Inspirations to human kind. Mind blowing feats of bravery.
Yuri Gagarin.
Alan Shepard.
Neil Armstrong.
Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.
Michael Collins.
Et Al.
And their extreme achievements in human history, that are unlikely to ever be surpassed. Goes to show what humanity can accomplish with their efforts instead of actual war.
R.I.P. Col Joe.... I had the honor to take a biplane ride (along with my wife) with Joe at the controls back in the early 90's.He was a true hero and a historically brave American (Not to mention his 11 months at the Hanoi Hilton... )
2:20. His right hand was probably still numb from the descent
1960, highest parachuting jump (102,800 ft. or 20 miles, 31km) and the first man to break the sound barrier without an aircraft.
I think the sonic boom was his farting from breakfast
De hecho fue Felix Baumgartner el primer hombre en romper la barrera del sonido sin ayuda mecánica
What a brave man! Way to go!!
Amazing I'm inspired🇺🇸
Really amazing
May he RIP. GOD Bless him and his family
DAMN!!! What an Amazing and brave man and to do this at a time with the technology they had back then. Absolutely Mind Blowing 🙏👍👍👍👍
Rip Col Kittinger. I used to say ...
Three things of man visible from orbit.
The great wall of China and Joe Kittinger's balls.
What a brave man.
Sooooooooooooooo awesome…!!! 👍😊👊💥
The most impressive jump of all time. Rest in peace sir
0:51 Look At The Size Of This Helium Balloon. It's Big. I've Wished I Have A Big Helium Balloon Went Floating And Flying Above The Air. X
What an American legend.
Imagine when he forgot to let go of the safety rope when jumping 😬
RIP. Blue skies ,you earned it
Still a big salute to Joe knowing the difference of technology back then compared to today.
In 1969 three men went to the moon, landed their rocket backwards on it, and took a stroll around. Some others went back and drove their late model electric cars around on it, then played some golf. Worlds most high tech golf cart race was a missed opportunity.
All respect to this man to set a president for today's freefall from space
Well I’m in 2024 now and they need to get those astronauts back to earth on ground
Very far. More evidence to prove the earth is not flat.
Why is there no curvature at the 1:53 mark?
@@bashtheslash9083The Earth is actually a triangle,that's why.
He said it !! WE ARE IN A DOME
Lol are you dumb? You think the sky is actually real. As if buddy, there isn't even room for a dome. After 8000 feet it stops.
Col. Kittinger jumped from 102,800 ft. Technically space. If the president had any honor at all he would award the Colonel the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Not true. Space is recognized as 100km
