Felix Baumgartner...strapped on some wings..jumped out of a plane at a point over Dover & flew to France..



Therefore becoming the first human to do what Icarus & his dad dreamed of doing...flying with wings attached to his arms..



And who said all frontiers had been conquered ...



Way to go Felix....



I'm sure Buzz Lightyear would approve too

    Rocket guy is really neat, what an inspiring thing to do.





    I saw him on conan, it was great. I think snoop dogg was on as well. Good episode.
