I had a telephone conversation with current World Record holder Joe Kittinger (pictured left) the other day. He is 79 years of age now and his record, set in 1960, remains unbroken to this day.
Watch Joe's 3 Project Excelsior jumps culminating in his 1960 World Record Jump.
It was amazing to speak with Joe, having read so much about him over many years. He was terrific and wished me well in trying to break his record. He followed up our conversation with an email in which he signed off 'Happy Landings!' What a great guy.
In respect and recognition of Joe's achievement the Project Space Jump logo feature three stars, one for each of Joe's Excelsior Jumps.
