felix baumgartner

Remember that guy who jumped out of a capsule at 24 miles above the earth? His name is Felix Baumgartner and he  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...

We still haven't recovered from Felix Baumgartner's amazing leap to Earth from the stratosphere. Fortunately, the internet is right there with us. Here are the best memes and GIFS we could find on the subject of Baumgartner's 128,000-foot free-fall. Ugh, just saying it makes us feel a little queasy, and watching a Felix Baumgartner jump GIF is almost too much. Maybe you'll fare better.

Those of you who missed the space jump on Sunday, you can check out the recap video by Red Bull and experience it all for yourself.

What would possess somone to jump and freefall 120,000 feet? Can you say deathwish? Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner will try to break the record of former Air Force officer Joseph Kittinger’s 1960 record jump of 102,800 feet. I got one question. Why?
