First Head Cam Video of Supersonic Space Jump

First Head Cam Video of Supersonic Space Jump

By Jesus Diaz

First Head Cam Video of Supersonic Space Jump Click to view This is the first footage from brave Felix Baumgartner's suit camera as he descended to Earth. It starts right after the jump and shows the moment in which Felix breaks the speed of sound and spins out of control.

Truly terrifying stuff. And awesome too.

According to Red Bull Stratos, Felix said he thought he was going to lose consciousness at one point because of the violent spinning:

"There was a time I really thought I was in trouble. I had to decide to fight all the way down and I finally got stable.

That spin became so violent it was hard to know how to get out of it. I was able to get it under control and break the speed of sound.

I could feel myself break the speed of sound. I could feel the air building up and then I hit it."*—Felix Baumgartner

Fortunately, he managed to control the spin—somehow!—and look down to Earth, keeping a steady descent course. The video shows that moment, too.

Felix is now the first man on the planet to break the speed of sound with no mechanical propulsion—just him and Earth's gravity. He also broke the record for the highest manned flight in a balloon, the highest free fall jump and the fastest descent.

We took the German TV commentary off—it was on Red Bull-owned Austrian TV channel Servus—and added the actual audio from the event, synchronized with the video. The original video was removed from YouTube shortly after it was posted.

You can watch a summary of the jump and Felix's records here. [Thanks RutherfordTheBrave!]

Fiscal 'Brinksmanship' Will Send Stocks Right Off The Cliff

Fiscal 'Brinksmanship' Will Send Stocks Right Off The Cliff
Goldman Sachs's equity strategy team led by David Kostin are convinced that the S&P 500 will sink to 1,250 by the end of the year.  This is down around 13 percent from current levels.

And they blame the 'fiscal cliff.'

"We assign a low probability that Congress addresses the ‘fiscal cliff’ in a benign fashion prior to year-end 2012," writes David Kostin in a new note to clients.  "The likelihood is perhaps as low as 1 in 3 depending on the election outcome. We expect it will be resolved in January but the uncertainty will prompt a P/E contraction towards year-end."

In recent weeks, Goldman's conversation with clients suggest that around 90 percent of investors think Congress will soon reach a compromise on the impending 'fiscal cliff.'

However, Goldman is not as optimistic.

Kostin thinks the 'fiscal cliff' debate could unfold like last year's debt ceiling debate:

The precedential value of last year’s debt ceiling debate. Budget forecasts in the spring of 2011 clearly indicated that the federal debt ceiling would be reached by early August. All spring and early summer market participants assumed Congress would raise the borrowing limit before the ceiling was reached. Although Congress ultimately voted to raise the borrowing limit, a default on US Treasuries was only averted at the final hour. As the debate intensified, S&P 500 plunged by 17% between July 25th and August 8th. The messy resolution prompted Standard & Poor’s to strip the US of its AAA sovereign credit rating. Some investors believe last year’s debate was unique because many in the Congressional class of 2010 were elected under the “tea party” banner on the promise to limit the size of the national debt. However, the dynamics are actually similar because both debates involve date-specific deadlines that encourage brinksmanship.

Here's a scary chart from Kostin's note:
