Felix Baumgartner is scheduled to skydive today, in about half an hour after a series of weather-related delays, for Red Bull, from the edge of the atmosphere to the ground. He will be attempting to break the speed of sound. Yes, he was wearing a helmet in the picture I saw. Lotta good that will do if he lands on his head...

As I posted to my Facebook status "So Felix is about to skydive 37km (23miles) from the edge of the atmosphere. Big deal. Thats not even the distance of a marathon."
