There are many people around the world who are afraid of heights. What will happen if they are taken to space and asked to jump from there to the earth? Certainly, they will be terrified by seeing the view below. But there are some people in this world who take such risks laughingly. One such video is going viral on YouTube. The name of the person seen in this video is Felix Baumgartner. This video of jumping from space is from the year 2012. However, full preparations were made for Felix to jump from there. Felix used a helium balloon to reach a height of 1 lakh 27 thousand 8 hundred 52 feet.
Sitting in a helium balloon, Felix went to the stratosphere, the second lowest layer of the earth’s atmosphere. The gravitational force of the earth works there too. That means if someone jumps from there, he will not go up in the sky, but will fall towards the earth. In such a situation, Felix went to the stratosphere and wearing a specially made space suit, skydived (jumped from the sky) to the earth. This mission was sponsored by Red Bull. During this, he even surpassed the speed of sound and got stuck in a whirlpool. It seemed that the Red Bull Stratos mission was in danger. However, he was able to land on the earth successfully. Felix said that jumping down from space was really a unique experience.
In the video, you can see that he went to space sitting in a metal box under the balloon. When the balloon stopped there, he jumped down. During this, dozens of scientists were monitoring him. In between, their heartbeat also increased. He also captured the video of falling down with the camera installed in the suit. As he came closer to the earth, the happiness of the scientists monitoring him increased. Then, as soon as he came closer to the earth, Felix opened his parachute and landed safely. This video was uploaded on YouTube in the year 2022, but till now it has been viewed more than 2 crore 88 lakh times.
You will be surprised to know, but let us tell you that this video has received more than 33 thousand comments so far. Commenting on the video, a user has written that I still cannot believe that it is possible for a person to survive even after falling from space. There was a lot of risk in this. This man is thick-skinned and strong like steel, really. Another user wrote that I remember this very well in 2012 and I have seen every second of it. I was a child then, but it was really amazing to see it live. The third user has written that we get scared sitting in roller coasters and Indy racecars. The heartbeat increases. But this man will not enjoy sitting in it, because he is ahead of them all.
