Austrian BASE jumper Felix Baumgartner
jumps from the edge of space, 39 km (24 mi.)
above the surface of the Earth.
1. In the photo, we see a man jump from the edge of
space and then free-fall, attached only to a helium
balloon. Would you try this? Why or why not?
2. Why do you think people explore? What can be
learned from exploring new places?
3. Where would you like to explore? Explain.
" We really need to show people
the world in a different light,
in a new format—something
that they can engage with and
be excited about."
