Balloon jumping man

As work continued on the kitchen we stopped to watch a man go up into space in a balloon and jump out. I didn't really understand it all but Mummy, Daddy and Lori were glued to the TV. He was called Felix, which I always thought was a cat's name.

Mind, I'm only 2 years old and even I noticed that MSNBC News got just a *little* carried away with their reporting of the event.
