RED BULL STRATOSPHERE JUMP
 

Home | Red Bull Stratos

so the dude is gonna jump from like 120k feet, 36km?

they're hoping he breaks the sound barrier.

OCT 8th scheduled

lets find out!

one of the guys working on the project is a guy that did the same thing in the 60's but only from 31km.

It's an incredible video, but I can't help but imagine shrek sitting by a fireplace narrating the story to small ogres lol

This is relevant to our interests, especially the last jump

Fuck Google & Apple, Red Bull really is the coolest company on the planet right now with all the extreme sports shit they sponsor.

I agree, Red Bull sponsors/hosts so many cool events

celebrated the jump by lighting a cigarette :fullofwin:

i hope these guys know Wtf their doing & the technology advancements from the testing of space suits in the 60's...


the guy in the 60's i was reading about almost died.....his Glove pressure reading went down on his left hand but everything else was Okay in the suit so he didn't Abort....said when he landed his hand starting swelling about 3x..

NASA is watching closely so as to take away some knowledge for future emergency escape/returns

Red bull should sponsor NASA.

No, they have no idea what they're doing...

yes because tech giants and energy drink companies are comparable.

Red Bull sponsoring the most extreme sport of all.

Cop Killing.
Red Bull Heir Arrested For Killing Police Officer And Dragging His Body With New Ferrari

Can't wait to see this. Good on sportsnet to show thos

That's like saying that the cig companies are the coolest ever because they sponsor all the cool events out there ( or used to anyway ).

Energy drinks are like the new cig companies. I'm ure 10years from now when they realise it's not good for you they won't be able to do that either.

First of all this story is sketch from the get go.
For all we know the police officer was being a complete dumbass which lead to his own death. Or they were racing or the police officer actually did cut the guy off.

The stupid thing is this guy didn't report what happened to the police right away. Instead he was dumb enough to try and cover it up. What a fcuking idiot.

I would say Red Bull is as harmful as smoking a joint, probably less since you aren't inhaling smoke.
But, in both cases the reward outweighs the risk.

When Apple sponsors something like Formula 1 Racing, Air Racing, Stratosphere Jumping, or Crashed Ice maybe I'll think they're cool.

But smoking a joint relaxes the body and doesn't effect the heart like energy drinks do.

where does it say they are showing this...

Energy drinks are way worse than weed. One is a man made upper, and the other is a plant.

Weed is the wrong drug of choice. If anything, and still a dumb comparison, but compare it to cocain.

You do realize every time you smoke a joint you inhale smoke. There are carcinogens, ash, oxides, amoung other things. Just because it isn't as bad as a cigarette doesn't mean there are not detrimental health effects of smoking weed.

I'm a 24 year old healthy male. Do you think smoking a joint or drinking a red bull would have any serious health effects on me? No.

Like any substance you must weigh the risks vs benefits. I agree that red bull is probably worse than weed in regards to the general population, but I would not put energy drinks in the same category as a cigarette company.

ie. smoking weed: benefit > risk - acceptable risk
drinking red bull: benefit > risk - acceptable risk
smoking cigarettes: risk > benefit - acceptable risk
tylenol: benefit > risk - acceptable risk, even though if you OD on acetaminophen you will die.
