Rodd Millner, 37, hopes to freefall for six minutes before opening his parachute and touching down within 30 miles of Ayers Rock in central Australia. He said: "A man in space has never achieved this, but research indicates the transition will be safe and smooth." He appears undaunted by warnings from scientists that the descent through near-space could be so fast that his head will explode.

This guy might want to research the Russian dude who didn't find the fall so safe and smooth. He's in a cemetary outside of Moscow somewhere.
