More quotes by 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.

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

Felix Baumgartner
This claustrophobia was the only weakness I had. It's not my fault. It's just in my mind.
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.
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
When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data. The only thing you want is to come back alive
Felix Baumgartner
I want to inspire the next generation. I want to be in mission control with someone younger than me wanting to break my record.
Felix Baumgartner
I would've never dreamt that my skydive would trigger such gushing enthusiasm. I still don't really understand exactly what I've accomplished, although I always suspected it would be a truly spectacular moment.
Felix Baumgartner
One of the most exciting moments was standing out on top of the world, 30 seconds before stepping off.
