Observe Rocket Launch While Skydiving

So, as you can imagine, skydiving and rocket launching does seem to mix. Well it definitely looks cool, unless your directly above the rocket. Check out this epic picture courtesy of io9.

This is not the North Koreans being “Rownry”. Its actually Staff Sgt. Eric Thompson skydiving while a rocket is being launched. I think the next red bull sponsored extreme sport is skydiving onto a launching rocket, riding into space and then orbiting over to a ship that you have to pilot all while chugging red bull. At that point, you better pray it gives you wings.

Stay Manly.
