Red Bull Stratos - A first person view of falling from space! [video]

Take a look at this amazing video of Felix Baumgartner as he free falls from space during his jump on October 14, 2012! The video is a first person view of the jump and was recorded using seven GoPro cameras that were attached to his suit. I've used this statement before but this is one of the times where I can truly say that this video is breath taking. Watching him descend is truly an amazing sight.
"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."
Wow. Enjoy!
