Maybe for following his dream.

We need people like Felix Baumgartner who do incredibly brave, yet sometimes insane, feats of historical significance. Science benefitted immensely from the Stratos team, and the data will aid future technologies for high-altitude bale-outs for pilots and astronauts' space suits, but the impact of seeing one human doing something bold not only inspires, it ignites a passion that can drive entire societies.

For just a few minutes that Sunday afternoon millions of people forgot their routine and ignored the chaos of the world to watch one man make history.

Doesn't really make him a hero, though. Other than to other crazies.

I watched it, heart in mouth, it took some fooking ***** to do it.
