GoPro: Red Bull Stratos – The Full Story

Red Bull Stratos was a space diving project involving Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner. On 14 October 2012, Baumgartner flew approximately 24 miles into the stratosphere over New Mexico in a helium balloon before free falling in a pressure suit and then parachuting to Earth.

The High Definition (1080p) video below, of Baumgartner’s free fall from space, was filmed with seven GoProGoPro cameras attached to his suit.

October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner ascended more than 24 miles above Earth’s surface to the edge of space in a stratospheric balloon. Millions across the globe watched as he opened the door of the capsule, stepped off the platform, and broke the speed of sound while free falling safely back to Earth. Felix set three world records that day—and inspired us all to reach beyond the limits of our own realities, and reimagine our potential to achieve the incredible.

GoPro was honored to be a part of this epic achievement, with seven HERO2 cameras documenting every moment. From the airless freeze of outer space, to the record-breaking free fall and momentous return to ground—see it all through Felix’s eyes as captured by GoPro, and experience this incredible mission like never before. No one gets you closer than this.

I am as bright as the sunshine on a warm day,
I can go a long way.
I am seen on the young and the old that God made,
but I can fade.
I have only five letters in my name,
and I am painted on both the strong and the lame.
I can be as white as pearls,
or as yellow as blond curls.
I can never grow old,
or never be sold,
or turn to mold,
but I am more precious than gold.

What am I?

Rubber Chicken A guy is sitting quietly reading his paper when his wife sneaks up behind him and whacks him on the head with a frying pan.

“What was that for?” he asks.

“That was for the piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name Marylou written on it,” she replies.

“Two weeks ago when I went to the races, Marylou was the name of one of the horses I bet on,” he explains.

She looks satisfied and apologizes.

Three days later he’s again sitting in his chair reading when she nails him with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him out cold.

When he comes to, he says, “What was that for?”

“YOUR HORSE PHONED!”
