Title: Watch the First Human Supersonic Space Jump (Updating Live)
Post by: Lusterless Nova on 2012 Oct 09, 11:05:03
Hi there.

I am fascinated about what humans are capable of. This time one of them want's to break the sound barrier. What is so special about it? He is doing it without a jet. More info's here: http://gizmodo.com/5950136/watch-the-first-human-supersonic-space-jump-updating-live

He will start in one half hour.

Wait did they abort it or not? The video doesn't let me watch it and I'm not sure if that was another time.

It was cancelled because of some wind. I will inform you once they try again by posting here.
