Wow! I was so speechless during the whole video! Imagine free falling faster than the speed of sound from space and having a slight chance of blowing up! I was holding on to my breathe when he was about to jump and the suspense was killing me. While I was watching the video, I couldn't imagine how it would have felt to be the one jumping off and free falling into earth, whilst having your life being put on the verge of death. While I was watching the video, my heart was pounding like crazy, and my eyes were glued to the screen.
I admire Felix Baumgartner's courage to be willing to risk his life. There are a lot of things that could have happen during the process of going up into space and free falling. For example, there were many things to consider such as malfunctioning of technology, his parachute not opening, or his suit that may have not been able to handle the external pressurization.
It wasn't until I researched more about Felix Baumgartner's past free falling experiences when I found out that he is a holder of six world records! He was the first human to have raced an airplane across the sky, he has based jumped into the second largest cave in the world, jumped off the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, and the tallest building in 2002 located in Taipei. The base jumps off the Taipei building and the Petronas Towers were illegal but nothing stupid Felix! He risked being in jail but he believed, and followed his dreams! Felix Baumgartner will always be a huge inspiration in the world.

Im glad he inspired you to do more research! Strong readers and writers will do this on a regular basis. It would be great for you to link some of the sites you researched in your post next time for your viewers to examine as well. Well done Emily for first post!
