In this Thursday, March 15, 2012 photo provided by Red Bull Stratos, Felix Baumgartner prepares to jump during the first manned test flight for Red Bull Stratos over Roswell, N.M. On Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012 over New Mexico, Baumgartner will attempt to jump higher and faster in a free fall than anyone ever before and become the first skydiver to break the sound barrier. (Jay Nemeth - AP) Skydiving from 23 miles above Earth is certainly not for the faint of heart. That’s what 43-year-old Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner will set out to accomplish this Tuesday morning (Oct. 9).
With only a pressurized spacesuit and a parachute, Baumgartner hopes to become the first person to break the speed of sound during free fall. If successful (i.e. survives), he will set a new record for the highest and fastest human free fall in history.
Dubbed “Fearless Felix,†Baumgartner has spent five years training for this immense leap of faith. A giant helium-filled balloon will enable Baumgartner’s space capsule to take off from the New Mexican desert shortly after dawn on Tuesday (Red Bull, his sponsor, delayed the mission by 24 hours due to gusty winds from a nearby cold front).

After liftoff, it will take nearly three hours for Baumgartner to ascend to 120,000 feet above Earth â€" three times higher than the cruising altitude of commercial aircraft. Upon exiting his mission capsule, Baumgartner will jump head first, testing the limits of scientific knowledge as he flies toward Earth at supersonic speeds of 690 mph (Mach 1).

Baumgartner will reach the speed of sound in less than a minute and continue in free fall for five whole minutes before he opens his parachute at 5,000 ft. If all goes according to plan, he will be back on solid ground in 20 minutes.

But that’s a big if. Any mishap or equipment failure would mean instant death. Surrounding air temperatures will be as low as -70ºF and air pressure less than 1 percent of what it is on Earth. A crack in his bodysuit would, among other things, cause his lungs to overinflate and his blood to boil. Another concern is that Baumgartner could fall into a flat spin, in which he loses control of his body and enters into an unconscious death spiral.

Joe Kittinger, right, following the Red Bull Stratos press conference in New York announcing Baumgartner's plan to attempt to become the first person ever to break the speed of sound with the human body. (David Goldman - AP) Baumgartner doesn’t seem deterred by the risks. The former military parachutist has already logged 2,500 jumps from planes and helicopters. In July, he completed a successful practice jump from 18 miles above Earth, which is not quite the world record. That belongs to retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Joseph Kittinger, who jumped from 102,800 feet in 1960. Kittinger has been a key ally and mentor in Baumgartner’s Red Bull Stratos team.
What happens if Baumgartner does survive to set a new record? The Austrian skydiver says he plans to finally retire “because I’ve been successfully doing things for the last 25 years, and I’m still alive.â€
Good call, Felix.

Question by teach: What is "evaporated drinking water"? Is there such a thing as "evaporated drinking water?" (along the lines of evaporated milk) Best answer for What is "evaporated drinking water"?:
Answer by wildbill05733 Answer by mks 7-15-02 Answer by Penner Theologius Pott Answer by ZamraZ Answer by tkeprincess8prince Answer by grayson_blue_black Answer by soozn Answer by ph62198 Answer by mizzred Answer by Shore Tracklete 73193 Answer by michelle Answer by loco/island girl
There is no such thing. Evaporated milk has the water removed. You can't evaporate water and have anything left over.
Is There Such A Thing?
Yes. It's called "air."
It could be any drinking water that is prepared from sea water by evaporation process.
i dont think so
I don't know. I always thought it was called "air"! lol.
steam!
sure.......just add water. isn't that a cloud or fog?
evaporated drinking water would be nothing since it evaporated
It's called STEAM!
