For those wondering, the other guy in the photo is Joseph Kittinger. Kittinger held the world record for the highest parachute jump, made in August 1960, when he jumped from a balloon at an altitude of 102,800 ft, free-falling to 17,500 ft in a world record time of 4 minutes 36 seconds! The altitude record stood for 52 years, when Felix Baumgartner jumped from 127, 852 ft in 2012.
