| The Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner is skydiving from a height of 36 kilometres today, breaking 4 world records and going supersonic. Read all about it here. The launch started at 18:30 UTC +0, and in about 3 hours Alex will get prepared to jump. He will be the first person to go supersonic in free fall, and it is not sure if he will survive. | |

| He will. Other facts about Felix: He is promoted by Red Bull, the inventor of Energy Drinks. He will do it. I just heard in the radio today that the wind delayed him, that´s like the only reason he hasn´t jumped yet. Also, I´m not so sure if he even can turn back right now. He is the most famous Austrian sportsman that is no skier. He is already 43 years old. He has his hand- and footprints on the "Straße der Sieger", the Walk of Fame of Vienna. I won´t watch his jump, because I do not promote extreme-sports. | |

| I just heard the jump has been canceled due to wind. It's not sure when they will try again. | |

Whoops seems like I made a mistake about the poll. Is there any way to fix it? | |

| 2.14 KM is the record, I beleive. Then again, that one had the intention of living, if one was planning to die, one could reach higher limits. | |

| They would say no, but they are always hiding. If I went up that high, they would be in the clouds. Like ninja owls.... | |

Okay, but what about on a sunny day? Also, you owls have airplanes, do you not? And how visible would you be from the ground at peak altitude? | |

| We don't have airplanes, we have things roughly similar to Iron man armor called flight suits. In one of those, I could easily hit 6 km. Suicide drops are only proper if done without flight suits or armor.
There are no sunny days in Cuuyth. Never seen one. Ever.
Also, not too terribly visible, but those guards have amazing eyesight. | |
