This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time.

Skydiver plans head-first freefall from the edge of space in dizzying bid to break Mach 1

But he must wear a special suit to ensure his body fluids don't boil

As he plunges through the stratosphere at supersonic speed, he also hopes to break three more world records - for the longest sky dive, the highest parachute jump and the highest altitude achieved by a human in a balloon.

Despite the intense cold outside, his £35,000 suit will heat up inside when it meets air resistance. His crash helmet will have its own air supply and reinforced ear pads to protect him from the sonic boom as he breaks through the Mach 1 sound barrier.

Awesome.
