Anniversary: 'Mission to the Edge of Space'

One year and one day ago, Felix Baumgartner broke the sound barrier by leaping out of a capsule on the fringes of our atmosphere.

Red Bull released its own footage to commemorate the anniversary of the jump, releasing this video showing multiple angles and vital mission data during the leap, including Baumgartner's altitude, and the G-forces acting on his body.

Lem, dearest,

My scrunched up little face is not crying and I did not splooge when I clicked on your first link.

However, while I do not have an absolute "no Althouse" policy, I prefer, in general, not to give her blog my business and would appreciate it if you would not post blind links to her site.

Considering the history of your blog, I do not think that is an unreasonable request.

The Red Bull retards can pretty much ruin anything for me so maybe they're not so retarded after all.

Maybe Roger Goodell was trying to fuck with Ray Lewis again. (And really, can you blame him?)

That was fucking ballsy.

What did they do to ensure he wouldn't enter into an unrecoverable deadspin?
