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... )
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.
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.
Waaa waaa waaa. You MAGA babies will blame anything on Biden, even (especially?) when your complaint is based on a misunderstanding. He was not in space.
I love his humility in using the word "we" repeatedly instead of "I." Such an impressive feat!

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
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! Way to go!!
Amazing I'm inspired🇺🇸
2:22 pause it to witness the deformity of his right hand

DAMN!!! What an Amazing and brave man and to do this at a time with the technology they had back then. Absolutely Mind Blowing 🙏👍👍👍👍

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
All respect to this man to set a president for today's freefall from space
RIP. Blue skies ,you earned it
Still a big salute to Joe knowing the difference of technology back then compared to today.

Sooooooooooooooo awesome…!!! 👍😊👊💥
Imagine when he forgot to let go of the safety rope when jumping 😬
Well I’m in 2024 now and they need to get those astronauts back to earth on ground
This should be titled "First Human in Outer Space".

Not true. Space is recognized as 100km
So should have EVERY POTUS since the jump. But you have a political agenda, mudflap.

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.
