Felix Baumgartner reflects on iconic Red Bull Stratos space jumpRed Bull

Transcript

00:00I'm the guy who jumped from space.

00:09I wanted to be the first human outside of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier.

00:13I always can see what I can see.

00:20I almost weigh twice the weight that I normally have.

00:23And it's very difficult to do a perfect exit.

00:26Do not over-rotate.

00:27Because if I start over-rotating, there's no air that you can use to slow down.

00:32Okay, John, I'm ready.

00:35Okay, here we go, Felix.

00:37I'm going home now.

00:48Drop our way.

00:49The first 25 seconds, it looked like everything was under control.

01:03And after 34 seconds, I hit Mach 1 and I broke the speed of sound.

01:08Was that him breaking it?

01:09Yeah.

01:12That was our goal.

01:13I wanted to be the first human outside of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier.

01:18Because of the fact that a lot of those scientists said, prior to the jump, you're going to spin

01:24like crazy.

01:25And the other half said, we don't think anything is going to happen.

01:29I was mentally prepared to spin, but I was hoping that I'm not going to spin.

01:34Now, if you watch the next couple of seconds, you see at that moment, it slowly starts to

01:40spin.

01:40It's getting faster.

01:43The problem is there's no protocol.

01:45There's nobody in the world telling you, listen, Felix, if this happens, you have to do

01:49this while the whole world is watching.

01:51The problem is there.

01:58I'm sorry.

01:59I'm sorry.

02:02We're all happy.

02:05Bye.
