WOMWorld/Noika has invited me to travel to Salzburg Austria and visit with the Felix and the Red Bull Stratos team. I am pumped up.
Why? Why oh why you might ask. Well, I guess it is for several reasons.
- First, I have several posts about the physics of the Red Bull Stratos jump. (quickly, the stratos jump has Felix Baumgartner jumping out of a balloon at 120,000 feet).
- Nokia and WOMWorld get some exposure because I will blog about my experiences.
- You, the readers, get to read about it.
Really, it is win-win-win. And trust me, I will find some good stuff to blog about.

Rhett Allain is an Associate Professor of Physics at Southeastern Louisiana University. He
enjoys teaching and talking about physics. Sometimes he takes things apart and can't
put them back together.

Congratulations! That is awesome (and I'm jealous)! BTW, thanks for the Real/Fake "nomination." I still have to go through your older posts and add to the collection.
