The man who (plans to) fall to Earth

“NEXT YEAR, Rodd Millner, an Australian ex-commando, plans to one-up the American hero Chuck Yeager, the first person to travel faster than the speed of sound. In a stunt that will either redefine the boundaries of science or the boundaries of idiocy, Millner intends to don a space suit and ride a balloon 130,000 feet up to the edge of space. Once he gets there, he will jump.”

This will either become the next rich boy hobby or a sad death that will be hailed as heroic and amazing adventure by those for whom life without excitement isn’t living at all.
