I know this is too late to really enjoy, but it's still a story to report. This man, sponsored by Redbull, Felix Cumgargler broke the highest skydive record. Not only did he break that but he also broke the goddam sound barrier. Felix Swashbuckler jumped from 23 miles up! Impressive right? meh. I'm unimpressed after hearing about the man that helped him beat the record. Joseph Kissinger or something along the lines of that, was the holder of the previous record. He jumped from 20 miles up and what impressed me the most was the fact that he did it 52 fucking years ago. He had nowhere near as much technology as Redbull did. Not only that, but he also failed the first two times. On one of the attempt his suit teared open and on the second attempt his parachute was incorrectly deployed, nearly killing him. Joseph Kittenlicker is the badass out of the two of them. Just remember that 52 years ago the technology was shit compared to today. It almost killed Joseph Dishflinger twice! But it didn't stop him. Two near death experiences and he still persevered to set the record at 20 miles!
