2007-12-05 23:15:00
A nice day, good weather conditions and a blue sky. For normal I would say, yeah lets go for skydiving, but in the future perhaps SPACEDIVING?I´m sure a lot of us dreams already a long time to do this and perhaps this dream can become true in the near future.

The first Skydive
2006-10-22 23:51:00
The first Skydive was made at the 22nd October 1997 in Paris. Skydiver and developer of the "oversized" umbrella was the French guy Andre Jaques Garnerin. He jumped out of helium ballon in a height of 975 meters.The parachute had a diameter of 23 feet, but without a stabilisation hole on the top, what caused a very turbulent flight. Nevertheless he came unharmed back to ground and was thus first skydiver in the history.Skydive Discoveries
