Baumgartner and Red Bull have yet to release a launch date as the team is still working out the minute details and inspecting the conditions for the perfect date.

Red Bull Stratos was finally revealed today and the details are simply astounding. Baumgartner plans on breaking Mach 1.0, more than  690 mph or also known as the speed of sound, with his body when he free falls in a “space suit” from 120,000 feet above the Earth. 120,000 feet or 23 miles, would shatter the previous world record of the longest 102,800 feet set in 1960 by United States Air Force Colonel (Ret.) Joseph Kittinger whos impressive jump opened the way to space exploration. This extraordinary feat Baumgartner plans to accomplish has been attempted by many individuals in the past 50 years and every venture has failed, some ending in death.

The target launch for this mission is set for 2010 and will be broadcasted on live televison and on a webcast.  The BBC will also produce a 90 minute documentary that will air in the US on the National Geographic channel and on BBC Worldwide. Once again, Red Bull is pushing the limits! Keep an eye out for commercials and interviews with Baumgartner as the launch date steadily approaches. (Red Bull)

“Last year, Shaun White disappeared from the snowboard scene, holing up in the wilds of Colorado training for what would be the biggest winter of his life. This is the story of his year, the private halfpipe and one of the most progressive sessions in history.” (Red Bull)
