Dear MEL School’s
Topic Readers,
Google's Alan
Eustace beats Baumgartner's skydiving record
How high would you
like to go up in the sky? Being lifted by a helium-filled balloon up to 40
kilometers above the ground, which is 40 times higher than the cruising
altitude of commercial flights, is crazy enough for a human. Then how does the
person get back to the ground? It’s simple. Just jump off, and the gravity will
take the person back home faster than any other transportation, without any
carbon footprint. How fast? The speed of the falling object (person) reached over
1,300 kilometers per hour, faster than the speed of sound or a fighter jet. Who
challenged such a free fall? One of the executives of the company that maps the
world on the ground and from space.
Now are you
interested in the venture?
Enjoy reading the
article and seeing the video.
