00:00There was a human being falling from space at speeds that no human being has

00:18fallen for the global effect of how far it reached took me by surprise it was viewed by half the

00:39world's population it seemed like one of these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities you don't

00:45want to miss there was one of those major events that is unreal where the TVs will turn on the

00:55whole world comes together and watches that to me is what Stratus was all the records of having

01:06people watch simultaneously online it had the chance that it could take down all of YouTube

01:10because of the concentration of the bandwidth on one singular stream and it became a really

01:15meaningful moment in live streaming history this was compelling for a whole generation in

01:21their teens and in their 20s because that's who was going to watch on those platforms we heard

01:26that from you know teenagers thank you you gave us our moon landing this was history in the making

01:31who wants to miss a second of that

02:01makes me feel really good to sit in this capsule after so many years and the only thing that I have

02:19to do right now is to talk about what we have accomplished 10 years ago makes it a lot easier

02:23so my job was sports partnerships manager to basically be the interface for YouTube to connect

02:32with Red Bull in 2012 the internet was very different than today and I think YouTube had a

02:40reputation for mostly being dogs on skateboards and cat videos live streaming was definitely not normal

02:47we'd done a few live things on the YouTube platform prior to the 2012 Stratostrum the most meaningful

02:55metric that we were looking at was how many concurrent viewers were watching this event that's how many

03:00people were watching at the same point in time we had the Olympic Games from London I think it was

03:06probably the hundred meters around Usain Bolt was about 600,000 live concurrence we'd also done a few

03:11presidential debates probably same numbers three to four hundred thousand live concurrence but nothing

03:17massive that really tested the system so one of my colleagues Tim Katz came to me one day with

03:23this idea that Red Bull wanted to do this Stratos jump his reaction was a little bit are you crazy to

03:32expose us to this kind of risk you know we could see Felix die on screen not to mention a pretty

03:38incredible technical challenge of how do you even get video cameras 23 miles up in the air to film this

03:47this is not just the capsule that protects me inside the capsule it's also a flying TV studio because

03:54what we wanted to do is to strap people into that seat on the edge of space and let them experience what

04:01I experience all right stand up on the exterior step but this wasn't just being streamed on the internet

04:08I mean we had media partners worldwide which supported my journey I think 77 TV channels around

04:15the world broadcasted my jump life and millions of people watched it on television I don't think

04:23anyone had ever done this before so it was really a first ever back then I was an engineer really soldering

04:33all the cables underneath the dashboard and putting everything into the capsule here we have four

04:40cameras there's a lot more cameras on top because we want to capture this and show it to the world we

04:46could start stop recordings we could assign those video feeds to the different downlings and do crazy

04:51things so basically one decade ago we already realized a remote production which is nowadays the

04:58buzzword and in the broadcast industry those cameras are producing a lot of heat and because it's almost

05:06a vacuum up there there's no air that takes the heat away so we had to develop a cooling system to

05:11make sure the camera is not overheating if I look at the capsule it allows me to go to space it's giving me

05:19the opportunity it's the only chance to reach my goal that's going all the way up to the stratosphere

05:26and skydive back to earth at supersonic speed I really appreciated the fact that we have a capsule

05:39that protects my life all the way up because you know the suit it's a less complicated system and if

05:46the suit mill functions you're going to die you know so to have a double life support system capsule

05:51and suit cannot get better than that but on the other hand it's a very heavy ship that also requires

06:01a much bigger balloon to get me up to jump altitude we thought about doing it in a rocket plane but how do

06:07you get out then we decided after a couple of months let's do it the classic way sitting in

06:15the capsule strapped to a balloon going all the way up to stratosphere it's a piece of plastic pretty much

06:2033 times a soccer field two times as high as the saturn 5 rocket that they used for going to the moon

06:27it's not the whole balloon in this box of course it's just part of it there you go the unsung hero

06:35I mean just keep in mind this has been in space a part of history this is what everyone has seen on

06:44tv and now 10 years later I'm holding it in my hand I think we should make a coat out of it

06:51it's very fragile you know it's 10 times thinner than a sandwich bag so it's very easy to destroy it

07:00so we had given a budget for weight of 500 pounds for camera gear we ended up with 1500 pounds of camera

07:10equipment it was a lot of gear

07:13this was the largest man balloon ever flown the balloon itself is 600 feet tall the parachute is

07:24another 150 feet so it's a 70-story building ah what can I tell you about art art is extraordinary

07:31engineer blessed or cursed with the heart of an artist he brings the two worlds together I've never

07:38met anyone like it it was important for me that the program be viewed as a scientific program and

07:45not as a promotional stunt the fact that Red Bull was so good about documenting the process and

07:55understanding how to expose that to the public that was part of the phenomenon of having the general

08:04public globally be part of what was really a fantastic event so a year after my skydive from space my mom gave

08:24me a drawing a drawing that I completely forgot about I did it when I was five years old it's me

08:33hanging underneath the parachute and it looks like I'm really high because I'm right next to the Sun you

08:41don't even think about skydiving or breaking any records at the age of five but it looks like there was

08:45something in my mind already growing like a seed that you plant somewhere I do think there was some

08:53sort of premonitional value to what he was imagining himself doing in years ahead he was gonna be a

08:59different human he was gonna try things differently he was gonna carve his own way I started skydiving when

09:08I was 16 years old it was a childhood dream from the very first second when I jumped out of an airplane

09:15I could feel this is where I belong to this is what I wanted to do the rest of my life I think skydivers

09:22and base jumpers in general we're a little different right we see things a little differently

09:26things that outside people who don't do what we do think are like oh that's a big deal you almost died

09:32running from a cliff is to me the ultimate dream I don't think the wider public understands risk the

09:44way you know Felix understands it the definition of a daredevil is a reckless person doing dangerous

09:50things and for me Felix was never reckless the things the feats that he did of course they were

09:59dangerous he's not a risk taker he's a risk manager I'm a stunt coordinator I think what I do with film

10:07stunts and what Felix did with Stratos there's a lot of crossover Tom Cruise he's an actor that does

10:13literally everything himself it's months or years of training to get himself to a position that he's so

10:20competent that the risk factor goes right down and that's what you know Felix did as a base jumper it's

10:28a very easy relationship you know it's you that's your parachute and your decision-making but working

10:35on Red Bull Stratos it's something completely new and now you have to be become a team player there's

10:41so many people on the team that you have to rely on I think being part of any kind of team especially

10:46a team where someone's life is on the line and the whole world is watching it's hard to not get tense

10:52now he was the center of 300 people who are in their own right world-class aerospace engineers flight

10:59test pilots meteorologists you know film production crews we put together what was kind of considered

11:07the dream team one name that popped up at the very beginning was Joe Kittinger for my Air Force

11:14Colonel who did something very similar he jumped from an open gondola back in the 60s Joe went to 102,800 feet

11:27when he stepped off the platform he got up to 614 miles an hour in free fall so it was nine tenths the speed

11:37of sound so he didn't break the sound barrier but that record held for 52 years being there done that

11:45that's the person you have to talk to with all Joe's amazing background in history you know all the

11:52things he accomplished he was a true American hero he's space cowboy he's done in the past sometimes it

12:02felt a little bit like there was a father-son relationship he always said things like out of

12:07the way Joe wasn't a skydiver I mean Joe had 33 skydives when he jumped from a hundred thousand feet

12:20I mean it gives me goosebumps to think about how scary that must have been the next step would be

12:27to approach NASA but NASA turned us down every time I turned around I was being told nope you

12:33can't buy spacesuits you can't get the valve we aren't gonna let you have the balloons so we were

12:40the complete underdogs you know but I don't have a problem with being an underdog or being underestimated

12:46this group that had been thrown together really had to figure out how to get things done in a

12:52different way there wasn't anyone you know in a private sector that had actually ever you know

12:57engaged in something like that it's very unique it took us almost seven years to prepare every detail

13:04to make sure we're we're on our a-game we dropped the ball many times but we picked it up again seven

13:11years of negotiation getting us to the point where people felt like it was all going to come together

13:15it was shocking showing up on site in Roswell New Mexico it blew me away it was really incredible going

13:28to mission control going into the capsule seeing where the cameras were set up there were nerves

13:35everybody was nervous you're waiting for the weather conditions to be just right and it looks like we had

13:41the window and the morning of the first attempt we started to see the viewership on the platform start

13:51to creep up and it took everybody by surprise clipping past the million two million eventually reaching

14:00two and a quarter million concurrent viewers everything seems calm and perfect

14:05whoa gusty winds and as I'm walking literally this giant helium balloon whips down past me hits the

14:14ground trucks are moving everywhere everything got very real how dangerous that this could be

14:19the winds came up we have to abort we had one balloon left before we aborted the attempt

14:27we knew this was going to be unlike anything anyone had ever seen on the internet

14:3214th of October October 14 14th of October October 14 14th of October 2012 I will never forget that day

14:44I was in Roswell New Mexico in mission control that day you could feel the tension pretty much

14:53everywhere you walked we knew if we don't get him off the ground this very day this project is not

14:59gonna happen or not gonna happen for a very long time getting into the capsule Mike Todd puts in the

15:09suit he puts you in the capsule and it's the last guy that you see be looking into his face and you

15:14know exactly what he's thinking he's like hey bro I hope to see you again alive and I thought the same

15:19thing once that door is closed it's only me and Joe Kiddinger communicating doing what we practiced so

15:26many times before I'm Rachel you were born ready Felix I was sitting in front of my computer screen

15:32on Google Hangout with my engineering team basically talking to each other about what was happening and

15:39and how things were evolving we actually hit two million concurrence before the live stream even

15:44started so we just had two million people waiting for us to turn on the cameras and say the jumps gonna

15:50be in three hours we have a long history in human spaceflight then we started an aerospace company

15:58specializing in life support and thermal control systems for commercial spaceflight what drew us to

16:06watching it it was one of the most exciting things happening and it was the most exciting thing happening on

16:14the planet that day I watched with my wife and daughter it was like a massive event we are go

16:22for launch we're sitting waiting bated breath so let's go

16:27the balloon has been released from the launch arm Felix it's climbing up it's so beautiful I mean when it

16:37started to lift it's incredible to see that huge balloon you know go up and all worked you know

16:45perfectly green on the move now to get that line straight it's good so far the moment of launch is

16:52exhilarating it looked sculptural like a piece of art it was a magical moment it's just pure magic

17:14once you take off you need to keep that balloon in shape all the way up to jump altitude I want a

17:31camera on the balloon the first 3,000 feet it's called the death zone if something happens to the

17:39balloon the capsule parachute rescue system will not open fast enough because we are too low and

17:44I'm also not having enough time to unhook all my oxygen hoses depressurize the capsule and get

17:50outside the capsule if something goes wrong he's dead watching as an audience you just see the you

17:56see it floating up thing oh it's still quite close to the ground so it's it's not dangerous yet but

18:01that was actually the most dangerous part apart from the free fall we were feeling a dual stress you

18:07know there were a lot of issues that could have gone wrong on the streaming side and a lot of issues

18:11could have gone wrong on the status jump side and you know we were worrying about both of those you

18:16swing from this staggering sense of exhilaration and achievement to a real kick in the guts check of

18:23reality that wow now we've got to make it through this first phase I was properly trained to do everything

18:32by myself you know but still you want that calming deep voice from Joe Kittinger talking to you because

18:39it comes you down doing great on that cabin you're doing great everything looks green it made sense for

18:47me that Joe be the voice that spoke to Felix because who better but the guy who actually did the jump in 1960

18:56reaching a certain height was crucial for us to know okay now it's gonna work so we're pretty much

19:08out of the worst of the danger zone once we had that you know it's like the first relief

19:14so as time went by you know Felix kept getting higher and higher in the sky and our our live

19:20concurrent viewer count kept being higher and higher too wow but we also thought we should plan for

19:25potentially as high as five million concurrent viewers for the for the final jump attempt which

19:30we thought if we exceed five million it had the chance that it could take down all of YouTube at

19:35one point in time on my Google Hangout we got to the three million number and I kind of threw the

19:40question out to the team so so everybody we're at three million live concurrent so so what do we do now

19:45and uh I think one member of the engineering team said back to me uh we're not sure and that was a

19:54scary overall exciting just to watch that altimeter check check check check check he's doing his job

20:08feels like it was yesterday everything feels familiar doing great on that altitude Felix good job

20:15there's a lot of stuff going on in here everything makes sense so there's no luxury items here everything

20:21that's in here has a function so if you want to start right here there's our light insight it's

20:28mostly for the cameras we have two radios here for Capcom so I can talk to Joe Kiddinger and everyone

20:34else I have all the checklists here on the door I have everything memorized

20:42we had intentionally made the life support very pilot operated the idea is that if something happens with

20:51the communications or the radio he's got to be able to operate the 87 switches

20:59the worst moments are if your mind is not occupied so you're sitting there you're waiting you know

21:04you have all those negative thoughts what if something goes wrong what if something malfunctions

21:08what if I don't perform well there's just so many things you know because whole world is watching

21:13I think that's incredible to mentally control all your anxiety I think that would have taken a lot to

21:23get to a controlled and calm place I spend a lot of time in that capsule it's always miserable hot

21:32very uncomfortable very unpleasant and that's why I look at the capsule as an enemy first same with the

21:39pressure suit you have to reprogram your mind see this as your friend because the only way to go up

21:48into the stratosphere and skydive back to earth at supersonic speed is if you wear that suit

21:57reason why you need a pressure suit above 63,000 feet it's called the Armstrong line your blood starts

22:03to boil at body temperature that's why you need to have pressure around you you have a pressure dial

22:09right here you turn it all the way up and the suit will completely inflate when he's pressurized you're

22:15super limited mobility you can't move you can turn your head like this but you're not putting your hands you

22:20know and do whatever you want those are stuff getting anxious inside claustrophobic it's hard to breathe

22:27inside a helmet like this at 68,000 feet Felix said I think there's a problem with my faceplate

22:36heating Phil check your monitor Phil check your monitor we had already pre-arranged a code for what do

23:00you do in the event that there's some issue and so Joe says Phil check your monitor and that basically

23:06means cut the communication with the public there is a minor problem with the heat in the faceplate

23:14mission for the time being is continuing as the team considers what are the options I said I really

23:20think we need to disconnect Felix from the capsule which will force everything over to the chest pack radio

23:30to the life support on his backpack I had an overwhelming no you can't do that I was really

23:38afraid that if he would disconnect we would lose comms and if we lose communication will he be able to

23:46understand what needs to be done okay Felix uh that's what we think we should do so he disconnected the main

23:57umbilical and he ran a check comms and radio came on is a great so Felix breathe in and out you should feel

24:06the faceplate heating coming on now you'll feel the heat hey Felix it appears as if it's dissipating while

24:13you've got your breath held is that what you're saying it looks like yeah okay i think we should

24:19continue and hopefully our chest pack face shield heating is working I said we just went from 68 000

24:29feet to 118 000 feet so you're already past Joe you've already passed his record all you have to do

24:39is step out of the capsule and you've broken Joe's record we had just continually gained audience

24:46gaining gaining gaining and then right at the top of the of his ascent the speed at which we were

24:51gaining users to this live stream was like nothing that any of us had ever seen before at which point

24:58we don't really know what's going to happen and we don't have complete confidence that our systems will

25:02hold out okay John i'm ready okay here we go Felix item one depressurize the suit reinstall hose and cover

25:11when Felix hit the jump altitude of 128 000 feet we hit 8.2 million concurrent viewers which still stands

25:19today as the most viewed live event on youtube so it was uh always a little bit stressful and for

25:28something this massive you want it to go well the last thing we want to do is have this thing not

25:35work and go to black just as Felix has made it up to his jump point and everyone wants to watch that

25:41that moment he was up there and the door finally slid open and that view i mean all the camera angles

25:51captured it it was breathtaking what

25:57oh no very very few people would have ever seen the earth in that context from just inside a spacesuit

26:10it's just sort of a whole flabbergasting idea of just standing out there looking at the curvature of

26:17the earth my hands are already sweating every astronaut i've ever spoken to and from some of the quotes

26:26that i've seen for coming from felix it is a truly momentous experience to see our planet in the

26:34context of space 128 175 feet in the air and he's about to jump out

26:45you see the earth down there when you look up the the sky is completely dark it's kind of black

26:52look at the balloon it's completely inflated you can see how shiny the surface is i wish i could

27:02stay a little longer it must have been uh the most amazing feeling in the world to be basically you're

27:10standing at the edge of space above you is nothing right and the whole world is below you and

27:16i can only dream about what that was like for him

27:24i said sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you are

27:30we were we were all you know not moving one centimeter in that mission control my eyes were glued

27:36on the screen and uh i was like you got this felix you got this we were just like yes go ahead do it

27:44it's it was a heart-stopping moment and he had some some big balls to do that

27:54i've never seen the whole thing because i never watched it here we go

27:58he's like i'm coming home now i mean that's pretty cool i would have said something stupid

28:13like geronimo or something that wouldn't have been nearly as iconic if you look at the exit

28:19it's nice and clean couldn't be better joe told me kittinger the molecules bump into each other once

28:26a week up there they're so far apart that's how thin the air is so when felix steps off any momentum

28:32that he puts into his body is going to carry for the next 40 seconds felix left the capsule as perfect

28:39as we drew up just starts falling falling falling felix told me a year or so before that he wanted to do a

28:48backflip off of the capsule because that's one of his signature moves and i said well felix if you do

28:56a backflip you will most certainly die because you will not stop spinning

29:07and then for me the next critical point is when does he have control

29:11i was trying to put my arms out a little bit just to see how it feels

29:16because of the fact that a lot of those scientists said prior to the jump you're going to spin like

29:22crazy and the other half said we don't think anything is going to happen um i was mentally prepared

29:28to spin but i was hoping that i'm not going to spin we had physicists from all over the world

29:36writing us please don't let him do it his arms and legs will come off joe would write them back you know

29:43thank you for your concern you may want to double check your calculations

29:48the first 25 seconds it looked like everything's under control you know so i thought at that moment

29:55i still remember like it was yesterday hey everything is cool you know at that moment it slowly starts

30:03to spin it's getting faster oh uh there you go all of that's happening while he is breaking the speed

30:13of sound going you know mock what 1.2 something like that it was exhilarating to see felix gets at 843 miles

30:24per hour that was our goal i wanted to be the first human outside of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier

30:32was that him breaking at that moment i reached my goal yeah but i'm still spinning and now it really

30:42gets it's getting worse and now it's on me to find out how how to to stop that spin you know you have to

30:53find the solution while the whole world is watching please go ahead i remember watching this with my

30:58family and when he started spinning out of control i was i mean i was standing up i was like come on come

31:03on come on then i was trying to move my arms around a little bit just maybe it does something and then it

31:09stopped for a second and at that moment i thought okay that was it but now it starts getting the

31:15opposite direction you know and then it really ramps up you could cut the tension with the knife and it

31:22was terrifying we didn't know what was going to happen eva felix's mother she had tears in her eyes

31:29you could see the fear to really understand what it means for a mother in that very moment i think you

31:37have to be a mother and having to have a kid who does things like that felix gets in this position

31:46he flips over he goes past center now he's on his back so all of those moves that we had practiced

31:52all those jumps him and i have what to do in a spin everything's now backwards in that moment felix

31:57puts out the correct hand to stop the spin but doesn't wait long enough i can't even imagine what it's

32:02like i mean and the sun's spinning around and it's black sky i mean it's intense it's kind of a

32:10helpless feeling because there's a skydiver when you spin around you immediately know how to stop

32:15by using the air to your own advantage but here you have no air it's not a very comfortable situation

32:22plus if it gets faster and faster at a certain rpm there's a lot of blood going into your head it's

32:31called a red out if all the blood is getting pushed in your skull there's only one way for the blood to

32:36leave your skull and that's for the eyeballs that means they they pop out

32:46joe spun 112 times on one of his jumps he experienced minus 12 g's so he had ocular hemorrhaging he was

32:57actually bleeding from his eyes on one of his jumps and of course i was i was aware that if

33:02this goes on and on and on and it ramps up like crazy there's nothing i can do

33:09i'm worried that the gee whiz is going to fire now i had a gee whiz attached to my hand the gee whiz

33:15is a device that we developed together with luke at about three and a half g's for six seconds the

33:24gee whiz would deploy the reserve parachute for you a drug shoot is a round parachute that's designed

33:31to orient your body in a way where your head is a little bit high and it keeps you from being able

33:37to get in this flat spin knowing that i'm already spinning for a while and g force was constantly

33:47getting higher i knew that gee whiz could fire my drug shoot anytime and that's why i put my hands in

33:56to trick that gee whiz because as soon as put my hands in it's less chi and now the gee whiz

34:02sends us oh less cheated means he's getting it under control i would rather solve that problem with my

34:11skills versus a safety device i was waiting for that moment when he was going to get enough drag

34:19where he could write himself and fix himself you could see i was trying to put my right hand out

34:25then i put my left hand out felix stopped the flat spin and flip back over into a positive free fall

34:35position yes sir to recompose himself it's uh it's a hell of an achievement the forces on the body

34:47was so huge once he had that his abilities were just fine he was going to be okay we knew he's in his

34:54comfort zone and everything's gonna be fine that was stable as a rock

34:59and now it's it was actually the first moment where i had time to enjoy the beauty of the nature

35:10you look at the sky it's blue now at that moment i actually start enjoying free fall

35:19every meter that you fall you're falling towards a better world more oxygen more pressure more temperature

35:29while you're still so high up i was constantly checking the altimeter

35:42and then you saw the chute just pop there's the chute there's the chute and i mean at that point it

35:51was oh my god game over we've done it he's done it

35:54i think this is probably a moment where there's two guys on the team that's been really relaxed

36:03and that's me because my parachute opened and luke akins because he packed that parachute

36:09i was a little bit worried that all of my skydiving community is going to see my

36:13opening that i packed and it was going to be line twist or not the best opening you know

36:17and i was going to hear about that for the rest of my life so i was really happy when it was a

36:21a perfectly nice opening now this is a very important moment very first time after hours

36:27and hours inside that spacesuit that i'm breathing regular air so now i'm reconnected with the outside

36:35world so the visor is open i can i can breathe i'm back in the real world i love that moment and that's

36:42that's in my mind forever and i was so worried about my landing because after everything works perfect

36:50i really want the clean landing

37:01that is incredible so now i'm really happy because even the landing worked just perfect

37:10when he landed he dropped to his knees and he recognized what he just achieved that was when i

37:17really felt for him and got the goosebumps

37:24i think youtube so yeah there's 10 percent of the internet are being utilized and sort of stream it

37:29globally wow how did i feel oh geez tension relief i was screaming from the top of my lungs we worked so

37:38hard for many years you know days and nights you could see in people's face you know that this was a

37:44massive relief we were just dancing and screaming and shouting it was just relief pure relief

37:56i went behind the tin shed the shed that we used to prep the capsule in

38:01i called my mom and i cried like a baby it was it was crazy it was it was chaotic and all those feelings

38:09and emotions and realizing that it actually happened and it all worked out fine

38:17and i remember looking around the room and thinking wow these people have been such an important part of

38:23our lives and it's probably not going to potentially see many of them ever again you know there's this sort

38:29of uh sort of realization that you know uh it's over there you go the two boys

38:37when i look at my phone my inbox was blown i think i could see every second duck duck duck duck

39:01i knew that people felt that it was an extraordinary event i knew people had been paying attention

39:06i was blown away by how many people had tuned in

39:14we went on the media tour you know wherever we went there were people there were people lining up

39:18in front of the hotels at four o'clock in the morning waiting for felix you know to sign autographs

39:23wherever we landed whatever airport it was you know there were people lining up it was big

39:29it was big well talk about a leap of faith there is no question that he's a brave man this is something

39:34that had never been done before when i met felix i didn't know it was felix the guy that fell from

39:41space he's very humble what felix did is a once in a lifetime achievement but it's also a once in history

39:49achievement if you accomplish something so unique awards are coming your way it's so surreal if you go

39:59on stage and there's top hollywood celebrities you're standing in front of morgan freeman you know

40:04the guy because he's one of my favorite actors sean travolta for example awarded me with living legends

40:11of aviation you're staying there and it's like mind-blowing i have received many awards in my whole entire

40:18life but this one is special for us at google and youtube perhaps a red bull too was like wow we could

40:25pull off an amazing event that a lot of people just felt was crazy initially to do we could

40:31distribute it to everyone who wanted to see it in the world if they had an opportunity to get onto the

40:36web within the first couple of weeks we saw over a hundred million playbacks of the events and now

40:4310 years later we've seen almost a billion views of content from red bull stratus

40:48it had proved to point that there was an audience that we didn't think about at that point and i

40:55think this was sort of like the early phase of what digital media and social media has become

41:00salute to a man felix live streaming is a part of daily life now for billions of people around the

41:06world and strata has really paved the way for what was possible then we were nominated for an emmy and we

41:12all went to new york and well we actually won which is super exciting too but it was a bit of a surprise

41:20but a nice surprise we've really reused the technology from the stratus project the concept that we applied

41:28has really realized more cameras and events like that which also leads to more perspectives for viewers

41:37and we're going to see what's going on and we're going to see what's going on and we're going to see

41:39red bull stratus did change my life i got that job where i did from 25 000 feet with no parachute

41:45straight because of the work i did on stratus that's pretty amazing that that jump changed my career

41:51and put me in a different category oh my goodness stratus had a global effect on the flight test community

42:03looking at space safety they actually started classes and used red bull stratus as engineering

42:09examples of how to do engineering program a couple years after felix does his we have alan eustis go up

42:18and he breaks felix's altitude record which would have not been possible without all of the learnings

42:23we had and alan was very cool because hey i took everything that they learned that i could get my hands

42:29on and i read it all and i applied some of that stuff to my project while stratex beat the altitude

42:38record we didn't beat felix's speed record what was learned from stratus i think enabled us to do

42:45stratex safely and the technology that kept us from spinning up during the descent was a direct result of

42:53the work that stratus did the legacy you know for me for record stratus is pushing the boundaries

42:59of what's you know possible for a human being we openly disclosed all the scientific data that we

43:04generated and provided to the world what we learned you know from that project and how that can be

43:10applied in those programs now that is massive the life support system that we designed on the capsule

43:17actually used the technology and data to change the configuration for life support for things like

43:24the u2 and the end result was a plane that was built in the 50s now flies at a cabin pressure equivalent

43:32to 15 000 feet and they limited any kind of decompression sickness or disorientation in the pilot

43:40it showed that there's a huge interest in human space flight done by private companies not just

43:47government space programs and it laid out a technical pathway for us to go forward with other

43:54projects that built on what was learned at stratos red bull stratos captured everybody's imagination

44:02they saw all the trials and tribulations we went through potential issues and dangers because going

44:09up to near space is a very dangerous environment that's the only way that the world advances is by

44:17people pushing to the next level and felix has a giant page in the history book of opening that door for

44:23people a human putting themselves out in front of the world with a challenge that at times was beyond

44:30them i meet people every day from kids that were in grammar school to adults who are in the flight

44:37test community to astronauts that would tell me and share their stories and share how it inspired them

44:44to do or be part of something if i want to teach my kids something and something i really learned from

44:52stratos is go out and do what you love and find your own wings

45:06well you know i had two childhood dreams when i was a little kid i dreamed about skydiving and i

45:11dreamed about flying helicopters but my parents were not rich i didn't make a lot of money so that's

45:19the reason why i had to wait for a long time it looked like my dream has never become reality

45:25i want to show you my parents house most of the time but my mom here's a helicopter she runs outside

45:34and she waves like crazy so let's see if it's the same thing today yeah she's out there see her baby

45:41a childhood dream not just becoming a helicopter pilot now i'm even entering the next level

45:54becoming an aerobatic helicopter pilot

45:57the machine becomes you and you become the machine it's a relationship and it's a very

46:11beautiful and elegant way of flying it gives you a level of freedom like nothing else

46:20felix and i are both helicopter pilots and we share that passion but there are not many people that can do

46:25what felix does in a helicopter doing full loops rolls and the way felix does it i only know two

46:35and that's why i'm not going with felix in the helicopter as many times he's invited me to go with

46:39him i want to take this to an extreme level like it did in skydiving i started as a regular skydiver

46:47took it to an extreme level and i want to do the exact same thing on flying helicopter

46:55i learned a lot while working on my pulse stratus things like being patient or working with a team

47:04and also how to handle setbacks we have been the underdogs but we always came back stronger and that's

47:10how we became a family before i broke the speed of sound i was always asking myself how do i want to be

47:16remembered and now i guess i have to answer so when my time is up and i have to leave this planet

47:25i will do it with a smile on my face because i know one thing for sure big dreamers always win

47:46so

48:00you
