Washington. A video of a man jumping from space has gone viral on YouTube. The man seen in this video is said to be Felix Baumgartner. This video of him jumping from space is from the year 2012. However, all the preparations were done for Felix’s jump from there. Felix used a helium balloon to reach a height of 1 lakh, 27 thousand 8 hundred 52 feet. Sitting in the helium balloon, Felix reached the stratosphere, the second lowest layer of the earth’s atmosphere. The gravitational force of the earth works there too. That is, 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 skydived (jumped from the sky) to the earth wearing a specially made space suit. This mission was sponsored by Red Bull. During this, he even surpassed the speed of sound and got stuck in a circular motion. 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 a really 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 downwards. During this, dozens of scientists were monitoring him. In between, their heartbeat also increased. He also captured the video of the fall 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 close 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 more than 33 thousand comments have come on this video 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.
