Felix Baumgartner, a 43-year-old skydiver breaks the speed of sound, and the world record for highest free fall.
After jumping from 39,045 meters from the edge of space, he achieved a maximum speed of 1,342.8 km/h in the 4 minutes and 20 seconds free fall.
History Marker :: Congratz to Felix Baumgartner! Records broken today: - Highest freefall (102,800 ft. by Mr. Kittinger in 1960) - Highest altitude for a manned balloon flight (113,740 ft. in 1961) - Sound Barrier (1225 km/h) by just free falling
Achievements: - Leapt from 24.2608 miles (39 Km / 128,100 ft) - Top speed of 1,342 Km/h (free fall, yet faster than a commercial jet plane) - Free fall for 4 minutes and 20 secs - Braved temperatures of -68 degrees Celsius Although the record for the longest free fall of 4 minutes and 36 seconds, still stands and being held by Mr. Joseph Kittinger -- it is still a huge accomplishment to have achieved 3 records in 1 jump. Congratulations, Mr. Felix Baumgartner for a successful mission! You're the nearest human being to be called Superman! :D
