Felix Baumgartner will have to put a hold on his attempted jump from the stratosphere. In a statement released by Red Bull, the Red Bull Stratos project is on hold pending litigation. One “Mr. Hogan” claims to “own certain rights to the project”. The statement is below:
On August 16, 1960, Joe Kittinger fell from 20 miles (102,800 feet) above the Earth’s surface setting the free fall record. In 2010, Felix Baumgartner plans to break Joe’s record by falling back down to Earth from 120,000 (~23 miles) feet high. Think about that for a second, folks.
