Felix Baumgartner jumped to earth from the edges of space, broke the sound barrier on the way down, and lived to tell the tale – he even landed on his feet and walked on. The man must be as nutty as a fruitcake but he’s also a real superhero. I have to state that the spectacle was one of the most awe inspiring things I have ever witnessed. What on earth, or off it for God’s sake, can he do for the next adrenaline hit?
Seriously, I hope that Felix now feels able to retire to live a long life - like a travelling bard, in 40 years from now he should still be telling his tales all around the planet to anyone prepared to listen. Why keep on risking his life now? It would be a bloody shame to die base-jumping off a boring skyscraper.
I for one am looking forward to the upcoming documentary about his exploits.
DC Comics, or Marvel, need to brief a designer to come up with a decent name and suit for a real life Super Man. And, Red Bull could give the designers the wings for it!
