Wow, did I really just see that?

Talk about daring. In a new scientific feat, a man named Felix Baugartner achieved what seemed like the impossible, flying at supersonic speed. He was lifted up into space, in a helium filled balloon, and from there he jumped. That takes some serious guts. Not only did Baugartner help in the scientific world, but he also demonstrated the concept of falling through the air. Just like the parachutist in Ms. Lawrence's video, Felix falls to earth's surface, and doesn't pull his parachute until he reaches terminal velocity. This is the exact scenario we had on a recent class worksheet. Only this time, the stakes are higher, and everyone is on edge.
