91. NOVA Online | Escape! | Skydive From The Stratosphere
    Skydive from the Stratosphere is a reenactment of Kittinger s recordbreaking jump—a reenactment that puts you in Joe Kittinger s pressure boots.  
    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/escape/skydive.html
    
    Extractions: On August 16, 1960, Joe Kittinger stood at the edge of his balloon's gondola, 19 and a half miles above the Earth's surface, and leapt out into the near vacuum of the stratosphere. Almost 14 minutes later he landed on solid ground. To say that Kittinger's jump was a daring and courageous feat would be a vast understatement...but there was a purpose to his gallantry. His team's findings would hopefully benefit those unfortunate high-flying pilots needing to eject at high altitudes.
