Red Bull/Felix Baumgartner capsule/suit coming!

Post by p51 »

I was glad to hear today that I’ll be seeing the Red Bull capsule and space suit from Felix Baumgartner's record jump when I go to Space Camp in September! See more about that here: http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum41 ... 00556.html and http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-050613a.html
I assumed it would go to the Smithsonian, that’s the best free press that Red Bull could ever hope for. It's great to hear it'll be on a tour to some of the NASA visitor centers!

I'm surprised there hasn't been anything here on this, I know for sure it's here because Steve texted me some photos of it today...

I've been trying to get down there and do a full report with my usual batch of photos, but every weekend I've had something going on, including this one. I'll get down there eventually before it's gone.

Checked the display out last Friday. It is worth the trip down. The Capsule is the center surrounded by display showing video, taking your picture with the capsule, information display & suit. It is located in main building by the glass windows main exhibit hall.This exhibit a one of a kind, one of the best ones I seen there in a year or so.
