Description

In this one-off documentary, Space Dive tells the behind-the-scenes story of Felix Baumgartner's historic, record-breaking freefall from the edge of space to Earth. The world watched with bated breath when Felix became the first person to freefall through the sound barrier on 15 October 2012, after jumping from 128,100ft (24 miles) from the edge of space. Space Dive features footage, which until now has been kept closely under wraps, from cameras attached to Felix, as he broke through the sound barrier. The documentary follows Felix as he underwent years of training under the watchful eye of 82-year-old colonel Joe Kittinger, the man who set the original record when he fell 19 miles to Earth (102,000 feet) 50 years ago, since which two men died in similar attempts. During Felix's intense physical training, the cameras capture the basejumper as he struggles to overcome a severe claustrophobic reaction to the movement-restricting pressure suit, and how the mission came close to aborting in the final stages of the ascent, and saw just how close Felix came to spinning and tumbling to unconsciousness during the jump.

Space Dive

Fantastically engaging material, but this documentary wastes too much time on silly personal squabbles rather than answering relevant scientific questions. Very good, but could have been much better.

Words cannot express my feelings...

I was gripped by this store when it was streamed. The opportunity to watch the back story and to see the story of the Felix, Joe, Art and the team is absolutely amazing.
The world news is full of so much bad news and whilst the benefits to very day people are far less tangible, the fact that the world has people like Joe and Felix might just mean that as a race we can be inspired to greater things.
I found the production value of this film very high, with excellent narration… and it looked amazing on my MacBook Pro Retina.
Inspiring, amazing and beautiful. Thank you Felix.
