More quotes by Felix Baumgartner
I love a challenge, and trying to become the first person to break the speed of sound in freefall is a challenge like no other.
Felix Baumgartner
I don't like to rate myself others can do that. I've spoken with a number of young people who weren't even born in 1969, when the first moon landing was made. They've witnessed the first person to fly at faster than speed of the sound without propulsion. These kids are happy to have had such a momentous event in their lifetime.
Felix Baumgartner
I feel at home up in the air, just like sailors do at sea and climbers do in the mountains.

Aviation - and space travel, in particular - have always been especially captivating.

Felix Baumgartner
If the Wright brothers hadn't put their lives on the line, we would not be flying around the world these days. So we need pioneers.
Felix Baumgartner
People are fascinated about the world above them because it seems so out-of-reach. My jump gave them an opportunity to come along for the ride. They could watch live on their screens how someone rises all the way up into the stratosphere.
Felix Baumgartner
I had to work with a psychiatrist.
Felix Baumgartner
I have a lot of fears that normal people have.
Felix Baumgartner
Well, to me, my past accomplishments weren't crazy. They required a lot of skill and careful planning.

Learn to love what you've been taught to fear.
Felix Baumgartner
To jump and break the sound barrier will not be a mere record breaking experience or another extreme event that ends once the mission is accomplished.
