Hi everyone, did you see the freefall of Felix Blaungartner? Wow!, it was breathtaking. In fact,  I think it was the most amasing event I have never seen. He has been the first person to break the sound barrier in freefall. What a challenge!                                                                                                                                                                                                              

What amazed me most was the very moment in which felix left the capsula and took the right position to do the freefall. It was impressive. he was standing up at the edge of the space capsule looking at the Earth, which was  about 39 kilometres from him, knowing the dangerous that this fall could be if the smallest mistake happenned. Fortunatelly, everything was right and the freefall was a success in spite of the fact that there was a few seconds, in the middle of the fall ,where Felix lost the fall´s control and started to revolve around himself. Strangely enough, in five minutes he landed as if nothing would have happened and he would have gone for walk quietly.

While I was seeing it I was wondering what would be crossing  felix´s mind in that moment. I cannot imagine the thoughts of these intrepit men. They should be a bit crazy, but thanks to people like these, science and technology are improving everyday .
