posted Dec 9th, 2012 - Saturday at the Mondial Dubai 2012 did not have any competition action any longer, except an Accuracy jump-off in the morning, followed by the award ceremony.

However, the list of interesting topics is still very long, and the NSL News now picks up one that actually began on Friday when Felix Baumgartner visited Skydive Dubai. Two other celebrities in the skydiving world were at the competition site on Saturday, and the NSL News was able to meet with both at the same time and at the same place for a conversation about space travel.

Helmut Cloth is the inventor of the CYPRES and goes 26 years back in time with the development of the oldest and most reliable life saver. He is a soft spoken man and prefers to be in the background. Olav Zipser has been on the forefront and often in the spotlight of the skydiving world. He has been one of the inventors of the Freefly and Freestyle events.

Olav Zipser was also competing at the Mondial Dubai 2012. He was filming the stonger one of the two Freefly teams from Venezuela, and he was on camera for Venezuela's Freestyle performer, as well.

Helmut Cloth and Olav Zipser have something in common, besides the CYPRES 2 in their containers. They are both involved in recent space exploration projects. Actually, Felix Baumgartner's high-altitude jump was mostly a record attempt for an event that is not new. However, Helmut Cloth mentioned that Felix Baumgartner was not that far from possibly needing the CYPRES when he was spinning at a very high speed.

Olav Zipser goes a step futher with his recent project. He will soon shoot himself into the higher atmosphere with a space rocket and then descend under a parachute after leaving the capsule. He and his partners are working on a rescue system for astronauts in their rockets when things go wrong while they are still within the atmosphere. Helmut Cloth will work with Olav Zipser to support this project just as he supported Felix Baumgartner's project. The video of the NSL Talk at Skydive Dubai provides more details.
