Red Bull Gives You Balls of Steel

October 14th, 2012 / Comments (1)

Red Bull's latest "ad" was broadcast live this afternoon when superman Felix Baumgartner jumped from the edge of space (128,000 feet above the Earth), making a record-breaking freefall jump and becoming the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall with his own body (at an estimated 833 miles per hour). Yow.
