Kittinger, 1960 - The Man Who Fell From Space

A stunning video remix by "Area51", set to a beautiful audio remix, of one of the most dramatic singular moments of personal courage in the history of our species.

In the audio, the quote is from the movie "Alive", 1993: "Many people come up to me and say that had they been there, they surely would have died. But it makes no sense, because until you're in a situation like that, you have no idea how you'd behave. To be confronted by solitude without decadence or a single material thing to prostitute it... elevates you to a sprititual plane, where I felt the presence of God. Now, there's the God they taught me about at school. And there is the God that's hidden by what surrounds us in this civilization. That's the God I met."

Beautiful video with a great choice of music. And a very moving quote to boot. Favourite'd and rated. Definitely something I will watch again.

The power and beauty of this moment/video/song is profoundly moving. It highlights the best of what it is to be human.

@pheloniusfriar ok, didn't see that :)

[pheloniusfriar]

@PafelThereal Because you (presumably accidentally) posted the exact same comment twice. I deleted one copy... the other copy is still there. :)
