Jump from 36 kilometers height

Felix Baumgartner of Australia is trying to jump from a height of thirty-six kilometers above Rosvel of New Mexico with the help of a Balloon. 

In vacuum (where the air is not) within 40 seconds of the jump his falling speed will be of 1,110 Kilometers per hour. 
If everything goes well then one and half kilometer before reaching the Earth parachutes will open and and Felix Baumgartner will land  easily in the desert. 


Australian engineers have developed special pressure bearing suit for 
43-year-old Felix Baumgartner.
This suit is same as of astronauts. If this suit do not works properly his blood may boil.


Felix Baumgartner is known for jumping skyscrapers. But he is not unaware of the dangers of the jump.

He is going to jump where the sea level air pressure is less than two per cent, and at height of 36 kilpmeters above earth breathing will be a challenge supply of oxygen.

Earlier those who tried to break the current record have lost their lives.



Felix Baumgartner says, "If something goes wrong, then the only thing that can help you and that is God."

At present record of Jump from the highest elevation is in the name of retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Joe Kittinger's. He Jumped to the ground from a height of 3 km in August 1960 with the help of Balloon.
