Baumgartner

Felix Baumgartner’s jump will attempt to break retired Air Force colonel, Joseph Kittinger’s world-record for highest skydive, achieved in 1960 under Project Excelsior. Kittinger’s record is 102,800 feet and although he came close to breaking the sound barrier during the free-fall, the Red Bull Stratos project will serve as the first time someone has done so.

GPS Explosion

Recently, an employee at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, left his GPS unit in the bracket attached to the windshield in the sun. The battery overheated and exploded. The Fire Prevention unit of 95th Civil Engineering Division advises not to leave GPS or other electronic devises in the sun as it is possible for them to overheat and, in some cases, explode.
