had a G-Whiz attached to my hand. 635 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,400 A G-Whiz is a device that we developed together with Luke. 636 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,840 At about three and a half G's for six seconds, 637 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,880 the G-Whiz would deploy the reserve parachute for you. 638 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,920 A drogue chute is a round parachute that's designed 639 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:35,000 to orient your body in a way where your head is a little bit high 640 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,720 and it keeps you from being able to get in this flat spin. 641 00:33:38,880 -->

644 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,280 that G-Whiz could fire my drogue chute any time. 645 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,320 And that's why I put my hands in to trip that G-Whiz, 646 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,240 because as soon as put my hands in, it's less G, 647 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,080 and now the G-Whiz sensor is off. 648 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,920 Less G that means he's getting it under control. 649 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,320 That would rather solve that problem 650 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,800 with my skills versus a safety device. 651 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,400 I was waiting for that moment when he was gonna get enough drag, 652 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,200 where he could right himself and fix himself. 653 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,360 You could see I was trying

--> 00:42:57,760 The legacy, you know, for me, for Red Bull Stratos, 817 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,840 it's pushing the boundaries of what's possible for a human being. 818 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,280 We openly disclosed all the scientific data that we generated 819 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,480 and provided to the world what we learned from that project 820 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,360 and how that can be applied in those programs. 821 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,200 Now that is massive. 822 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,640 ART: The life support system that we designed on the capsule 823 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,440 actually used the technology and data 824 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,400 to change the configuration for life support 825 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,440 for things like the U-2. 826 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,200 And the end result was a plane that was built in the '50s, 827 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,480 now flies at a cabin pressure equivalent to 15,000 feet 828 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,800 and they limited any kind of decompression sickness 829 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,040 or disorientation in the pilot. 830 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,280 TABER MACCALLUM: It showed that there is a huge interest 831 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:44,600 in human space flight 832 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:49,400 done by private companies, not just government space programs, 833 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,480 and it laid out a technical pathway 834 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,000 for us to go forward with other projects 835 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,800 that built on what was learned at Stratos. 836 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,040 ART:Red Bull Stratos captured everybody's imagination. 837 00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,760 They saw all the trials and tribulations we went through, 838 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,280 potential issues and dangers, 839 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:12,600 because going up to near space is a very dangerous environment. 840 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,840 LUKE:It's the only way that the world advances 841 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,680 is by people pushing to the next level. 842 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,960 And Felix has a giant page in the history book 843 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,120 of opening that door for people. 844 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,560 The human putting themselves out in front of the world 845 00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:30,520 with a challenge that at times was beyond them. 846 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,240 ART: I meet people every day 847 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,680 from kids that were in grammar school 848 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,560 to adults who were in the flight test community to astronauts, 849 00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:42,160 that would tell me and share their stories 850 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:47,520 and share how it inspired them to do or be part of something. 851 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,720 LISA: If I want to teach my kids something 852 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,520 and something I really learned from Stratos 853 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,520 is go out and do what you love and find your own wings. 854 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,800 [UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING] 855 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,160 FELIX:Well, you know, I had two childhood dreams 856 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,400 when I was a little kid. 857 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,200 I dreamed about skydiving 858 00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,480 and I've dreamed about flying helicopters. 859 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,200 [HELICOPTER WHIRRING] 860 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,680 But my parents were not rich, I didn't make a lot of money. 861 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,920 So that's the reason why I had to wait. 862 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,600 For a long time, it looked like my dream is never become reality. 863 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,440 [HELICOPTER WHIRRING] 864 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,040 I want to show you my parents' house. 865 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,640 Most of the time when my mom hears the helicopter, 866 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,880 she runs outside and she waves like crazy. 867 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,320 So let's see if it's the same thing today. 868 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,280 She's out there, see her waving. 869 00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:48,480 [CHUCKLES] 870 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,240 A childhood dream, not just becoming a helicopter pilot, 871 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,520 now I am even entering the next level, 872 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,320 becoming an aerobatic helicopter pilot. 873 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,480 [UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING] 874 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:06,240 The machine becomes you and you become the machine. 875 00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:09,680 It's a relationship. 876 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,040 And it's a very beautiful and elegant way of life. 877 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,240 It gives you a level of freedom like nothing else. 878 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,120 [HELICOPTER WHIRRING] 879 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,160 WADE:Felix and I are both helicopter pilots 880 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,440 and we share that passion. 881 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:24,720 But there are not many people 882 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,400 that can do what Felix does in a helicopter. 883 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,240 Doing full loops, rolls in the way Felix does it. 884 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:34,560 I only know two. 885 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,000 And that's why I'm not going with Felix in the helicopter 886 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,520 as many times he has invited me to go with him. 887 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,120 FELIX:I want to take this to an extreme level 888 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:45,320 like he did in skydiving. 889 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,360 I started as a regular skydiver, took it to an extreme level 890 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,880 and I want to do the exact same thing and I'm flying hard times. 891 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,360 [HELICOPTER WHIRRING] 892 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,400 I learned a lot while working on Red Bull Stratos. 893 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,080 Things like being patient or working with a team 894 00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:06,440 and also how to handle setbacks. 895 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,120 We have been the underdogs but we always come back stronger, 896 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,480 and that's how we became a family. 897 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:13,800 Before I broke the speed of sound 898 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,800 I was always asking myself, "How do I want to be remembered?" 899 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,800 And now I guess I have the answer. 900 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,200 So when my time is up and I have to leave this planet, 901 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,120 I will do it with a smile on my face because I know one thing for sure, 902 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,600 "Big dreamers always win." 903 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:33,280 Yes! 904 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,160 [UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING] 904 00:47:37,305 --> 00:48:37,728 Support us and become VIP
