The poem on the Poster , ‘Supersonic Skydiver’, was inspired by the recent, amazing record-breaking jump from 25 miles up, by Felix Baumgartner, an experienced sky-diver. It took him two and half hours to reach this height, lifted in a capsule by a giant helium filled balloon, and only nine minutes to plummet to earth, first in freefall, before pulling his parachute at around five miles up, for a safe landing. He later admitted to being terrified!
