Supersonic Freefall From Space to Earth

 Jump into an adrenaline-filled aerial action with this supersonic freefall stunt from space to earth hosted by Red Bull!

Daredevil Felix Baumgartner flew to an incredible altitude of 39,045 meters (128,100 feet) in a helium-filled balloon to complete a world record-breaking leap.
watch as he jumps from the edge of space, exactly 65 years after Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier flying in an experimental rocket-powered airplane.

“Felix reached a maximum of speed of 1,357.6 km/h or 843.6 mph(Mach 1.25) through the near vacuum of the stratosphere before being slowed by the atmosphere later during his 4: 20-minute long free fall. The 43-year-old Austrian skydiving expert also broke two other world records (highest freefall, highest manned balloon flight), leaving the one for the longest freefall to project mentor Col. Joe Kittinger”. Red Bull
