If successful, Baumgartner will be the first person to break the speed of sound in free fall. This cinematic animation gives us a realistic sense of what to expect, from take-off to jump -- and all the drama in between. We guarantee you'll get goosebumps at around the two-minute mark.

I remember as a kid watching Joe Kittenger doing a similar thing and being freaked by the film footage of him standing up from what looked like a normal chair and just stepping off the balloon platform. Being someone who gets a nose bleed on shag carpet, the whole thing gives me a shrinky winky. Joseph Kittinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
