While Baumgartner’s stunts inspired millions, his political views were known to cause controversy. On social media, he mocked climate activists and others who sought to limit the effects of climate change, and voiced opposition to LGBTQ rights, according to the AFP news agency. He also once suggested Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his anti-immigration policies.


sounds like a good guy.

That’s the thing about luck, it runs out.

The world is trying to kill you, don’t give it any help.

All men die. Few men truly live.

Our community is deeply affected by the tragic disappearance of Felix Baumgartner,

If he disappeared how do they know he died, and when did he disappear…before or after he hit the side of the pool?

I remember hearing that when Felix Baumgartner did his record-breaking parachute jump, he promised his girlfriend he wouldn’t do any more stunts in the sky. Why didn’t he keep that promise?
