Signed on the half title page by Capt. Joe Kittinger. Kittinger is a Air Force Colonel and test pilot who (mind-bogglingly) spent much of the late 1950s and early 1960s riding balloons up to the very edge of space and then leaping out. He held records for highest balloon ascent, highest free-fall, and several others among the most extreme aviation records of the pre-spaceflight era. While this book is primarily about Nick Piantanida, Kittinger is often mentioned.

DVD. Zustand: Neu. Neu Neuware, auf Lager - Sonntag, 14.10.12 Felix Baumgartner fliegt mit seinem Stratosphärenballon auf 39.045 Meter Höhe. Dann springt er - vom Rande des Weltalls, die Erde zu seinen Füssen. Er beweist, dass es möglich ist, ohne technische Hilfsmittel im freien Fall Schallgeschwindigkeit zu erreichen und dies zu überleben. Er erreicht 1.342 km/h und bricht Rekorde, die für mehr als 50 Jahre unantastbar waren. Die Welt ist live dabei - Millionen Menschen im Internet und vor den TV Stationen rund um den Erdball sehen zu, wie Geschichte geschrieben wird. Aber sie sehen nicht alles. Mehrmals ist das Projekt an der Kippe. Das wissenschaftliche Team muss sich vier Jahre lang Technologien und Lösungen einfallen lassen, um die Hürden des Stratosphärenflugs zu überwinden, Rückschläge müssen bewältigt, Ängste verarbeitet werden, um das zu erreichen, was noch nie ein Mensch zuvor erreicht hat. Noch während des Aufstiegs und Sprungs werden Technik und Menschen auf harte Proben gestellt. Das ist die Geschichte hinter der Red Bull Stratos Mission.
