tch this Amazing 12-Year-Old Launch a Hello Kitty into Space

NASA doesn’t have a lock on space exploration anymore. Just ask Lauren Rojas, a seventh grader in Antioch, Calif., who recently launched a balloon to 93,625 feet* using a do-it-yourself balloon kit from High Altitude Science. In addition to an altimeter, thermometer, satellite tracker and a host of cameras, Rojas added a decorative rocket ship piloted by a Hello Kitty doll her dad got her on a business trip in Tokyo. The video climaxes at the 2:15 mark, when the balloon, having expanded to 53 times its original size in the low-pressure environment of the upper atmosphere, explodes as planned, starting the kit’s descent to Earth:

The project is a terrific illustration of just how accessible the near-space environment has become. High Altitude Science was founded two years ago by Joseph Maydell, a flight controller for the International Space Station at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, who wanted everyone to experience the beautiful views of the planet that he got to see in the course of his work. And in the coming years, private space companies such as SpaceX and Virgin Galactic will start regularly flying rockets higher than the best weather balloons can fly. The benefit to space research—and to cheeky exploration videos—should be immense.
*: Yes, 93,625 feet is well short of the 62-mile-high Kármán line, the official boundary of space as recognized by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI). That shouldn’t diminish the excitement of the event.

The mission, Red Bull Stratos, will take renowned athlete Felix Baumgartner to at least 120,000 feet above the earth, to the very edge of Space.
From there, he will attempt a stratospheric free fall jump - the longest in the history of man - and hopefully will become the first human to break the speed of sound with his own body.
This is a mission to overcome limits which have existed for almost fifty years, ever since the heroic achievement of the young US Air Force test pilot, Joe Kittinger, with his 1960 Excelsior mission.
Red Bull Stratos will attempt to make history and deliver valuable learnings for medical and scientific advancement that will aid the exploration of space in future years.

Red Bull Stratos 試跳成功！不過還要繼續努力才能破紀錄
由 Marco So 於 6 months 之前發表
文章分類: 特色玩意
在學會跑步之前，必需要先學會走路，Felix Baumgartner 跟 Red Bull Stratos 隊伍都明白這個道理。如果大家有留意我們早前報導的話，應該會記得上述的人物和隊伍吧？他們計劃打破前美國空軍上校 Joseph Kittinger 在 1960 年所創下的高空 102,800 呎（31,300 米）自由落下紀錄，目標是 120,000 呎（36,576 米）和在沒有飛機保護下進行超音速飛行。
他們早在 3 月 13 日時曾經計劃來一次高度較低的試跳，只是在當日有關的氦氣球出現了問題，使到計劃推遲了兩天。到了 3 月 15 日的早上，他們再次嘗試並且成功了，不過就如上述所說，他們只是試跳，高度為 71,581 呎（21,818 米），比 Kittinger 的紀錄低約 3 萬呎，距離最終目標更有約 5 萬呎呢。速度方面，Felix 在自由落體期間（持續了 3 分 33 秒）的飛行速度還跟超音速（高於 343.2 米/秒）有一段距離，有約 163 米/秒，他們指出速度跟一架 F1 賽車的最高速度差不多。據報他們會在這個夏天來一次真正的破紀錄跳，自古成功在嘗試，Red Bull Stratos 加油啊！到繼續閱讀可看看有關的影片。
真想看見 Felix 衝破音障的一刻！
