Stratosphere

What do the American Joseph Kittinger and the Austrian Felix Baumgartner have in common? They both jumped from over 30 km high with a parachute! While Kittinger's attempt in 1960 was from a height of 31,333 meters, Felix Baumgartner broke this record in 2012 with a breathtaking 38,969 meters. Stratosphere describes the adventure, from ascending the heights with the help of a balloon, to the short pause in the stratosphere, and the jump, the turbulence during the free-fall descent, and finally the opening of the parachute and the safe landing.
