According to a conversation on Twitter between Danny Sullivan and a member of YouTube staff, Google considered sending Felix Baumgartner to space for his jump with a pair of Google Glass. That would have been awesome… again. Can you imagine seeing what Felix’s eyes were seeing as he was falling? And then, you know…answering questions on Google+ Hangouts and checking your tweets by winking your eye or something. Maybe next time, Red Bull? There will be a next time, right?

    Calling BS on this one…..no way you could deliver the video in real time as a POV shot, google glass is a camera its not the panacea to everything and no it wont make you breakfast in the morning.
    Baumgartner was wearing a POV camera and it is now available online after connecting the camera when he was on the ground but there was just no way to transmit it in real time.
    Its a shame careless editors allow BS like this to be written.
