A Legos Felix Baumgartner Breaks the Speed of Sound

Felix Yesterday in New Mexico after several delays, Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner did a space supersonic free fall that broke records for both speed and altitude. During the fall, his body’s speed hit 833.9 mph (Mach 1.24) breaking the speed of sound. You have probably seen the video on TV or the Internet, but have you seen the version in Legos?

On the same date in 1947, Chuck Yeager broke the speed of sound, as reenacted in the 1983 film, “The Right Stuff.

Was Felix Baumgartner’s free fall heroic or crazy? Leave your two cents in the comments.

      1. I guess the Legos make it look less impressive, but yeah, the scene from “The Right Stuff” shows one of the coolest characters in movie history.
