Science Behind the Redbull Stratos Jump

Update: 2012-10-23

Description

Millions of people watched Felix Baumgartner on October 14th 2012, break a few very impressive skydiving records. One of the most impressive was breaking the sound barrier. I noticed upon watching it though, that they kept the science pretty minimal. We thought we'd explore the science in a bit more detail.
