One of the most engaging stories from this past weekend was daredevil Felix Baumgartner's "Space Jump" with the Red Bull Stratos project.

Millions around the world watched live, myself included, as the helium balloon powered capsule was lifted over 24 miles into the upper atmosphere, the jumper opened the door, stepped out onto a small perch, slowly leaned over, and plunged towards Earth.
