Felix Baumgartner is an Austrian extreme sportist, who has had an array of marvelous jumps, being the first person to base jump off the petronas’ towers, amongst various other locations. This year Red Bull as well as various other companies are sponsoring Felix to attempt a jump from 120,000 feet, pushing the limits of man, and pushing our insights into science by being the first person to break the speed of sound outside of a machine.

Here’s some of his past adventures:
