Guy in redbull spacesuit enters a redbull capsule, goes up 37 miles or so, jumps out of the capsule, freefalls hoping to break the sound barrier, opens his redbull parachute and lands safely. He will be picked up by a redbull helicopter.

Kudos for the guy with the brass balls, but now I know why I had to pay so much for a soft drink I once tried.

Didn't break longest free-fall record, went pretty quick though.
