On October 14th, 2012, “Fearless” Felix Baumgartner, an Austrian dare-devil BASE jumper, and skydiver captured the world’s attention on Sunday with his 24 mile space jump. He set the record for highest-jump and fastest free fall velocity when he became the first person to break the sound barrier without the aid of a jet or spacecraft. Thats over 768 mph at 70 degrees F. It’s estimated the he traveled at speeds of up to 834 mph. Though it was a great feat for man, it gave a monumental level of attention to the stunt’s sponsor, Red Bull, which garnered “tens of millions of dollars of exposure” for the energy drink brand. As for Baumgartner, he achieved a worldwide level of fame for the feat, but that is unlikely to lead to any riches. And despite being one of the most in-demand interviewees in the world right now, the man who fell to Earth is putting off media requests for the time being, opting instead for rest. Who could blame him?
