Very cool, A short film on Felix Baumgartner's 2012 jump from space to Earth uses new footage from the GoPro he wore during his descent.

Outstanding footage, he's still got bigger cojones than I'll ever have to make the jump!

Yep. Extremely cool. Really good quality footage.

Watch out for that first step, it is a doozy

I wonder how the video would have been with the Blue Danube as the soundtrack in the first part?

Was it really a year-and-a-half ago we watched that live? This onboard footage is fantastic. I just wish they had shown the entire jump uncut. One of my favorite parts about flying has always been watching the changing appearance of the ground at different altitudes.

Derivitive.

Just my opinion, of course, but I wish they wouldn't put music into these live videos at all.

It still amazes me that a soft-drink manufacturer can do this.
