Man To Skydive From Edge Of Space

American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 48•41 • Oct 9, 2012

With sponsorship from energy-drink maker Red Bull, Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner will ride a helium balloon to the edge of outer space and skydive from a record height of 23 miles, provided weather conditions allow. What do you think?

“That Red Bull should help him stay awake during that super boring fall.”

“He’s just doing it for the attention; nobody give it to him.”
