Red Bull
"Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you are." Those were the eloquent words of Felix Baumgartner after he made a 4-minute, 20-second freefall (from an altitude of 128,100 feet, or 39,045 meters) into the history books today. Mach 1.24... Good grief. I do believe that Baumgartner stated in an interview last week that he was planning to retire if he successfully pulled off this feat (which he obviously did). Baumgartner should retire—and wait to assist the next adventurer inspired by Baumgartner who wants to join an elite group of folks (including, on a grander scale, Neil Armstrong) that accomplished something few others in humanity have pulled off. That is all.
