Today we offer a short history lesson in the form of a video about the first man in space, no it's not about Yuri Gagarin nor is it about Neil Armstrong.
The first man in space was actually Joseph Kittinger when he on August 16, 1960 jumped from a balloon 37 km above the earth surface. In this jump he was also the first man to reach the speed of sound without using an aircraft. In the fall he reached a speed of 989 km/h.
