Video: Highlights from Felix Baumgartner’s frakin’ dive from space. So tasty.

I missed Felix’s fantastic leap from space yesterday, working the NYCC. Goddammit. If these highlights are anything to go off of, the entire endeavor was glorious.

Boing Boing:

A highlight reel of yesterday’s spectacular skydive from the edge of space. As blogged during the event, and reimagined in LEGO and cat GIF form, Austrian parachuter Felix Baumgartner dropped out of the stratosphere yesterday from a pressurized capsule, for the Red Bull Stratos mission. The successful jump (and, landing!) set world records for the highest freefall and highest manned balloon flight in history. Early specs, via Red Bull’s Facebook page: Altitude: 128,097 ft. Duration of freefall: 4:19. Total jump time: 9:03. Speed: 1137 kmh. No beans. (via Laughing Squid)
