Congratulations to "Fearless Felix" and the crew at Red Bull for inspiring the world's imagination yesterday when Felix Baumgartner stepped out of his capsule halfway to outer space and plummeted back to Earth from more than 120,000 feet (24 miles) above Roswell, New Mexico.

Here is the explanation from Marc's website. Click through the image tabs above to get a sampling. "The practice of a globalized economy vertigo, has resulted...
