On August 15th 1960, Joe Kittinger went up in a balloon, and kept
going up. This is the story of an incredible journey, but beyond
that is the biography of man's unfolding relationship with the
sky.;When Joe Kittinger finally came to a halt, he found himself in
a paradoxical world of preternatural colour where the sun blazed
from a sky as black as pitch. A few minutes on the very border of
space were enough to persuade him to throw himself from his open
gondola with relish.;This is the tale of the fulfillment of one of
our most ancient dreams - to escape the confines of earth and find
out exactly what lies beyond the beautiful blue dome of the sky. In
the process, it overthrows the universal myth, enshrined in the
West in the legends of Icarus and the Tower of Babel, that the
realm above the clouds is strictly for the gods.
