I replied with "Skydive." Never did I think that nearly two years later I would get such an opportunity and for such a good cause nonetheless! On August 25, I will be jumping out of a plane for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

But there is one pesky thing in his way- the speed of sound. He will reach the speed of sound on his freefall without an aircraft. He'll just be wearing a "space suit". A test jump by Felix from 70,000 feet was a success. From here, they move closer to the real goal.
