Kittinger's jump from the edge of space.

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...
