This man is called Bob Maddox. He's not been blessed with good looks. Or a quality local barbers. But his balls? ENORMOUS.
Bob's going to strap himself to a four-engine pulse jet rocket (that's the big red thing next to him - and you thought it was a crayon), ride it to around 25,000 feet... and then jump off.
“It would be a very slow ascent, just 200 miles an hour, straight up,” says Maddox, possibly in a squeaky voice. “That way if there were a malfunction in guidance the vehicle would just slow down and I would get out, instead of it tearing itself apart.”
Nutter. Wired has the full story here.
