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.
- Nokia and WOMWorld get some exposure because I will blog about my experiences.
- You, the readers, get to read about it.
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).
Really, it is win-win-win. And trust me, I will find some good stuff to blog about.

Austria seems like a nice place to visit - I have never been there. However, I am not going to Salzburg (even though I said I was).
I am still thinking about the Red Bull Stratos Jump. Sorry, but there is just tons of great physics here. Next question - how big of a balloon would you need to get up to 120,000 feet?
Crazy, but I was on CNN Saturday night. They contacted me at the last minute to talk about the Red Bull Stratos Jump. Here is a screen shot to show that I am not making this up (or that I have awesome photoshop skillz).
A new video from the Red Bull Stratos Jump guys came out. Here it is:
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.
and RedBull is not Pepsi.
