(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In 1960, Joseph Kittinger became the first man in space. How did he get up there?.. a helium balloon. How did he get down?.. he jumped.

He was in freefall for 4 minutes and 36 seconds, reaching 614 mph before opening his parachute at 18,000ft. It took him 13 minutes and 45 seconds to fall to Earth.

Inspiring ehhh..?
