On
August 16, 1960, Joe Kittinger lifted off from Earth in a helium
balloon called Excelsior III (experimenting the effects of high altitude
on a human body) and rose to a hight of 102,800 feet (31,300). Once he
reached the edge of space, he did something incredible brave and
amazing...
He jumped like a sack of potatoes...
