In 1960 Joe Kittinger jumped from an altitude of 31,200m (102,800ft) setting several records, one which remains unbroken!
(Update : Felix Baumgartner, with the help of Red Bull and guidance from Joe himself, has now broken highest ascent, highest parachute jump and fastest speed)
Dnb Track is "Balderdash - Marcus Intalex"
Why didn't he burn up?
Basically, he wasn't going fast enough to 'burn'. The air gradually gets thicker, and so he slows down gradually without getting hot enough to combust (though I wouldn't recommend this with bare skin!)
Things that do 'burn up' in the atmosphere due to friction are moving at much higher speeds. For example, the space shuttle re-enters the atmosphere at around 28,000km/h (17,000mph) though is able to deflect the heat with it's ceramic tiled underside.
Meteors (shooting stars) are moving at even greater speeds, and usually disintegrate completely before reaching the ground

I´m Austrian and proud of felix, but 52 years ago... I mean, man, Mr. Kittinger really has balls of steal, nowadays we´re much further with science and shit, Joe is still one of the greatest and carried a much havier load i think. I bow to you first Joe, and then to my countrymen Felix!

Of all the videos of this jump this has the best soundtrack

@samcdigweed 11 лет назад

53 years ago to this day, Kittinger saw what no man had ever seen before. At 102800ft/over 19 miles, he said a short prayer, and stepped of 'the highest step in the world'. He fell for 4 minutes and 36 seconds, reaching speeds in excess of 614mph (mach 0.9). Trailing a drogue chute (still in use today and have saved many lives), he set numerous records, 1 still stands today. I have so much respect for Joe Kittinger!

I've seen this video lots of times and 2:25 is still giving me chills

@Gibson2513 12 лет назад

He jumped from there but when he renetered the earths atmosphere, his make shift suit's (since it was homemade in the 60's) glove area opened a little and his hand was swelled about 3 times the normal size. Absolutly amazing and ballsy jump!

@macroevolve 10 лет назад

He fell at the speed of sound - 767 mph ( 1,234 kph) before he hit the atmosphere. He said he had no sensation of falling, it just look like the balloon was racing away from him.

@Doug19752533 12 лет назад

at that altitude there is virtually no atmosphere (although technically it extends up to around 60 miles) but its so thin there is no friction with it to slow him down. so he accelerates until factors such as thickness or atmosphere, temperature, his mass, drag, ect, all start to take effect. btw, terminal velocity is 125 for the ave person. its different for different objects

@hernandoferro 11 лет назад

That was a stunning jump !!! That was a stunning jump and I bet He must have had a very unique personal experience. Joe has guts and has defeated fear. He's a guy to be admired and I give You an applause for your courage and for being fearless. Definetely, Joe's got guts !!! How did You overcome the fear of jumping from such a hight ? I wonder. Congratulations Joe. You've got nerves !!! More than Awesome !!!

@wolfenstien13 12 лет назад

wow, he makes earth look like a little place than it is.

@GHOSTx89x 12 лет назад

Felix Baumgartner brought me here & I love these men and them bravery

@XthorgoldX 13 лет назад

@FinallyAUniqueName Correct. To clarify, the 1G of force he felt was the force of air counteracting the pull of gravity. Just like us, sitting/standing, we don't feel gravity - we feel the push of what's holding us up, a floor or chair or whatever. He felt 1G of force, except it was provided by the push of air at terminal velocity.

@booste30 14 лет назад

Love this video. Music is soooooo perfect for that nerve-racking feeling of gradual ascent until you ultimately have to jump.

@derekwall200 9 лет назад

I always wondered why he fell so fast going over 600mph during free fall. answer was less wind resistance

@brianhill2701 9 лет назад

That makes sense

@DoINeedToo 12 лет назад

Yep! The experience must be out of this world!

@greggusan 13 лет назад

The graffic at the end is cool. Helps put the whole jump into perspective

@dodecapusrex 12 лет назад

From both hands, no less, and then a loving pat on the cheek. Fingers of camaraderie, congratulations and warm-hearted envy.

@azizshaheen5600 10 лет назад

who can notice something strange on 4:59

@reedsonics 13 лет назад

Without air; no friction, no heat. His suit didn't move as he fell for the first few minutes of freefall and with no visual reference, he thought he was floating in space forever. Scary.

@BLux420 12 лет назад

*Felix Baumgartner, not redbull. And it was hardly handed to anyone, months of training and preparation went into that. Both men executed similar achievements, to take away from one is to take away from both. They are equally important, though the recent jump is going to help technology much more in the long run.

@gornicek 11 лет назад

This legendary man is the first of, one day many, strato-divers. And no one will get any close to volume of his balls.

@twobluehorses 12 лет назад

@vinnybunbats No vid cameras in those days that didn't weigh dozens of pounds. The film we see was most likely 16mm and the camera was attached to the capsule Kittinger jumped from.

@dphotos007 13 лет назад

The guy was flipping him off because he was saying either you f$&king just did that or he was F$&king congratulating him. Man that guy had the biggest balls in the world.

@kiwigecko1 12 лет назад

Wow there are some simply awsome individuals on this planet.

@Chickentazer2 9 лет назад

I know this is all real but how did they get the footage from the balloon he jumped off of

@grozmo1 9 лет назад

They designed the balloon to come back down again by itself and they picked it up later

@tiggerroo2149 9 лет назад

+Daniel Jacob That's not what he asked. How did they get the footage at 2:36?

@grozmo1 9 лет назад

Tigger & Roo Multiple cameras attached to the balloon

@markjames495 8 лет назад

+Chickentazer2 They had a camera on a small chute dropped behind him.

@VoorheesF13 8 лет назад

camera's mounted inside the balloon in the upper part just at the canopy

@thanos278 12 лет назад

A legend!!!

@1906965181507 12 лет назад

What did I notice? First, he is looking as he is going to the execution, next, just like he wanted to give up, but choach is pushing him back to that chair, next, after the parashute had opened, he bended as he swooned, next, he did not step on earth, just dropped down... Surely, he was the first one, with no previous experiences of that kind... Anyway, very brave man, and great advantage...

@dempsey981 12 лет назад

What about the velocity, heat issue from the speedy fall?like the video asked,why doesnt he burn up,or heat up? with the recent red bull jump,thats why he wore a sort of space suit right?the news mentioned if the suit failed his blood would boil. anybody know anything about this issue?

@anoudabdullah6254 12 лет назад

the music freaks the hell out of me

@lancerCE02 12 лет назад

he doesnt burn up because he doesnt pass through the ozone layer. he is well below it.

@Jonny2guns1984 12 лет назад

love the guy flips him the bird at 5:00 like"you fuck! that was insane!"

@tornotube 13 лет назад

although you reach about 1000km/h in higher atmosphere ( there is almost no air), this velocity descents gradually because air resistance increases, and when you go through lower atmospher, your max velocity is about 200km/h, because of the air density, and you can open yout parachutes without problem

@grozmo1 12 лет назад

No cameraman, just cameras attached to the balloon

@ramborockyhitman47 13 лет назад

who was filming this? xd

@kuba651 12 лет назад

@kermitek91 there is but i dont think gravity would keep speeding him up , there is also a limit to the free fall speed so he'd need some extra form of a boost

@CiociaHrynia 12 лет назад

Some minutes ago i watch this guy in discovery and search for him on utube, ingredible

@kingmackattack42 13 лет назад

This wasn't like going up in a plane where he could back out if he wanted to, once he left the airfield there was no turning back. That balloon he was on wasn't making a round trip. Once he got to that certain height he had to get off wether he was ready or not! What isolation he must've felt.

@zecle 13 лет назад

how many Gs do you bear at 1.000 kmh ?

@TheSmithDorian 12 лет назад

I thought that for quite a while. I couldn't see how astronauts in space stations orbiting the earth were weightless yet gravity is supposed to operate over hundreds of millions of miles. The answer is that the orbit is placed at the distance from the earth where the gravity pulling the space station down is exactly matched by the centrifugal force that is trying to throw the space station out into space as it circles the earth at high velocity. Result - the appearance of there being no gravity.

@ilynnad 12 лет назад

@ndgv2 He would only be going that fast in the upper atmosphere where there thinner air and hence lower air resistance. He would slow down gradually as he approached earth to a terminal velocity of about ~200mph, although earth's gravity would be slightly stronger as he approached too.

@ICA31 11 лет назад

Andrev jumped from 83,000 feet. Not sure when he opened his chute. Kittinger jumped from 102,800 and opened at 14,000, meaning he was in free fall for 88,000 feet, more than the altitude of Andrev's jump. Andrev didn't use a drogue shoot, so you can argue that he had the longest without one, but it's not the longest free fall.

@skimowhite586 13 лет назад

@zigilwantsu He was going 1000km per hour not per second. A certain speed is required in order to BURN as you call it. Why well the things that burn require energy. Which often means fast moving molecules. So when you fall at 5 miles per second that fall an speed turns into BURN

@bjed21 12 лет назад

i wish i could find the video where they play the audio from kittingers headset. its a trip when he first jumps theres no air so no sound its completely silent until he hits another layer of the atmosphere. but every video has music

@ct92404 12 лет назад

I read that he actually fell a little faster, and reached supersonic speed. Just imagine a GUY setting off a sonic boom. Not a spacecraft re-entering or a meteorite, just SOME DUDE! Imagine you're sitting in your house and you hear a sonic boom rattling the walls. "That's just Joe coming back!" To me, that seems so funny...a guy flying through the atmosphere that fast all by his lonesome, no spacecraft or anything. And that would be freaking hilarious if he set of a sonic boom.

@TacticalOni 13 лет назад

Balls. The size of coffee tables. anyone know what song is used when he jumps out. I really dig it

@Superman66000 12 лет назад

Now, in HD with Felix XD

@bjed21 12 лет назад

i wish i could find the video with the audio from his headset. its so wierd when he first jumps its completely silent bcuz theres no air until he gets lower in the atmosphere.

@langezek 13 лет назад

@IcedOizen Wouldn't he burn up as he re entered? or is that only from outer outer space? The reson things burn up is (correct me if im wrong) because the friction on the earths atmosphere causing ALLOT of heat, as i said, correct me if im wrong, and im sure this is only in part

@TheSectorMercy 12 лет назад

He set 4 Air Force records, the highest balloon ascent, the highest parachute jump, the longest drogue-fall (four minutes), and the fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere without the aid of aircraft, and one more unofficial record; the biggest set of balls ever….hell yeah! He jumped from an open gondola, using new and unproven technology...no matter what the rest of ever do now or in the future..it will NEVER match the guts of Joe Kittinger, that means you Felix.

@grozmo1 13 лет назад

@KJamesMr It's 'Marcus Intalex' and the song is 'Balderdash'

@RPGRaptorShark 12 лет назад

i dont think terminal velocity for a skydiver is anywhere close to the speed of sound

@AdaptedStudios 12 лет назад

I'd really love to skydive! It gives me a feeling like I'm flying which is my lifelong dream! I've never skydived before and I was wondering if it's dangerous? :)

@aguila23 10 лет назад

Update: On 14 October 2012, Felix Baumgartner held it. Alan Eustace has now broken highest ascent.after jumping from a high-altitude balloon soaring at approximately 135,000 feet.

@Kevinski1997 13 лет назад

@ZigZagZinger1 New Mexico, USA. Somewhere around White Sands Missle Range and Carizzoso, I think.

@kkLegendG4 12 лет назад

The freakiest thing for me would be looking out at pure blackness falling with no wind not knowing if you would ever return to earth, possibly floating out further for ever. I WANNA TRY IT

@SETHWANTSAHUG 10 лет назад

Anyone here want to share with me why that guy at the end flipped Joe off?

@grozmo1 10 лет назад

I think it was meant as a friendly gesture, a term of endearment between friends (which normally would have an opposite meaning). I'd translate it as : "You actually did it you son-of-a-bitch! Had me worried, but you made it and I'm glad! Amazing!"

@SETHWANTSAHUG 10 лет назад

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks for the clarification.

@pant1979 12 лет назад

@TheMinnesnowda Nothing orbits at 70 miles, including shuttles. There is just too much atmospheric drag. The ISS orbits at about 200 miles up. The shuttles used to dock with that, and boost it up when it dropped too far.

@chanctonbury63 14 лет назад

@grozmo1 Theres a guy in the UK. There was one in France and Canada who had plans. The balloon and the cost is the problem. Sponsorship is also very hard to find.

@schlep18 13 лет назад

From the lack of pressure, you'd think he would b dead

@tpstrat14 13 лет назад

@grozmo1 lol i'm the same way... I'm scared of heights, but at the same time I love the thrill they give you...

@tylerhaynes304 11 лет назад

53 fuggin years ago. People think the Red Bull one was 'AMAZING!' When you stop and think, this was half a century ago, 30,000 ft higher, AND if you read the Cracked article you know that his gloves pressure valve failed so his hand swelled up to the size of his glove. This is badass. 'MERICA!

@SanGerardino 12 лет назад

I wonder how long did it take from when he jumped out of the capsule to when he reached the ground again...

@booste30 14 лет назад

Out of all four of those supposed records, I'll tell you that only 1 is true; highest parachute jump. Fastest human ever is Bill Weaver (accidental;aircraft ejection). Longest duration of freefall is Eugene Andreev. And highest balloon ascent was a manned-balloon in Project Stratolab, roughly around the same time as Excelsior, maybe a bit after.

personally, I think being able to see that would be reward enough for me, I'd love to go to space and see our home... I think if all politicians did so, they would see the world as it is, .... with no real borders, and no politics - and realize that we are all one family

@congopete 13 лет назад

@haynar09 not exactly, the height is of little significance. From a certain point on your absolute speed is reached. Jumping from a baloon though means you have zero horizontal velocity. He wasn't in a ballistic flight. Speak, he also wasn't weightless.

@wewong1 12 лет назад

more respect to this guy than felix..

@mothman197979 12 лет назад

and it only took him 15 minutes to land. I thought it would be much longer, however I guess with the high speed he was falling back to earth that shorten the trip some. Wish I could do that, so free.

@TheWhiskeyZone 12 лет назад

how did he not explode?! From that altitude if you jump you'll only accelerate and accelerate.

@Ker0xz 12 лет назад

dont worry. Hes a "newschool" kid with High Def. Shit and other "mega cool" stuff. Im very proud of Joseph Kittinger! He's the first human

@derekwall82 12 лет назад

im suprised he didnt burn up jumpin from a balloon at that altitude going as fast as he did. at 102,000 feet youd figure hed actually be jumpin from space and re-enter the atmosphere just like a meteor

@grozmo1 12 лет назад

about 15 minutes after he *jumped* he was back on the ground.. a little over 4 minutes of freefall and the rest parachuting

@tamale26 12 лет назад

@columbusmozart I heard that the ozone layer, which absorbs a great deal of UV radiation goes to only 30 km? Even flight crews(flying at about 11 km) have an increased risk of cancer I heard, although they stay there for long times.
