Red bull stratos jump on tuesday a must see

[sidewinder]

Felix Baumgartner plans to leap from just under 23 miles above the Earth's surface today, in what will be the world's highest ever skydive. A helium balloon will carry the Austrian to an altitude of 120,000 feet. If successful, his jump will break both a 52 year sky-diving record and the sound barrier.

The entire event will be streamed online here: https://www.redbullstratos.com/

EDIT: the skydive has now been postponed until tomorrow.

Below Baumgartner can be seen preparing for his previous jump, at 71,500 feet on March 15, 2012.

he will be going supersonic for a part of the fall, that would be worth doing the jump for alone
apparently you have no sensation of falling until your much lower
given the chance I would do it, thats a bucket list if ever there was one

Logged a guess for his landing zone... nothing to lose but a very expensive watch to gain!

Are there any special training requirements or qualifications needed to opt into such a thing?

Because to sound incredibly naive and unrealistic, I dont see the fuss in it, I'd do it tomorrow given a backpack and a countdown of when to do each step.
