Sky Diving and Singing — In Space

Do you think you would be able to jump out of a pod, more than 24 miles above the earth’s surface? Felix Baumgartner definitely thought he could, because on October 14, 2012, he jumped out of a capsule to make a historic jump from the edge of space. The descent from the jump lasted a little over nine minutes; about half of those nine minutes was spent in free fall, for 119,846 feet.

 

 

Although Baumgartner was not necessarily out in space, he was very close — he was carried up 128,100 feet above the earth in a capsule that was being elevated by, according to the Huffington Post, a 55-story ultra-thin helium balloon. The trip to Baumgartner’s jumping point helped him break the record for the highest manned helium balloon trip.

The highest manned helium balloon trip record is not the only record Baumgartner broke — he broke the record for the highest jump as well. What is even more extraordinary is that Baumgartner broke the sound barrier on his way down.

Can anyone else say that they have traveled faster than the speed of sound? The answer to that question will probably remain a solid “no” for a while. Can anyone say that they have tried singing in space? Sarah Brightman will possibly soon be able to answer with a confident “yes!”

Sarah Brightman, a famous British opera singer, is planning a concert in space when she travels to the International Space Station in the next two or three years. Brightman will board a Soyuz rocket from the Russian Federal Space Agency along with two others, and her plans are to become the first professional musician to sing from space.

Brightman’s trip would last 10 days as she orbits the earth with her fellow crew-mates. Would any of you Blasters want to travel to space?

If you could go to space, what would be one of the activities you do while you are there? Let us know about all of your space dreams in the comments below!
