This guy is basically going to be lifted up to 120,000 feet in a helium baloon and then jump out, in an attempt to be the first person ever to break the sound barrier in freefall.

Lift/jump off is scheduled for October the 8th...

Something similar has been done before, but not from anywhere near this high.

But this will be the first time anyone has broken the sound barrier in freefall if all goes to plan.

Jump has been pushed back until tomorrow because of a cold front according to the Facebook page.
