Leonov's spacesuit had inflated in the vacuum of space to the point where he could not re-enter the ship. He took a huge risk by lowering the suit's pressure in order to get back

Project Excelsior was a series of parachute jumps made by Joseph Kittinger of the United States Air Force in 1959 and 1960 from helium balloons in the stratosphere.

The third and final test, Excelsior III, was made on August 16, 1960. Kittinger stood 19.5 miles (31.4 km) above the surface of the earth. Because the right hand glove of his pressurized suit had malfunctioned, his hand had swollen to twice its size. He decided not to inform the ground crew about this, in case they should decide to abort the test.

Kittinger stayed at peak altitude for 12 minutes, waiting for the balloon to drift over the landing target area. He then stepped out of the gondola to begin his descent. Within seconds his body accelerated to over 700 mph (1127 km/h) in the thin air.

An automatic camera captured Joseph Kittinger just as he stepped from the balloon-supported @facethenation
