Skydiver breaks sound barrier-NBC News

On Oct. 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner jumped from 128,000 ft. over Roswell, NM. Felix’s is Austrian who has been training for about 7 years. He was helped by Joe Kittinger who held the 19-mile high jump, before Felix’s jump. It took a little over 4 min to land safely to solid ground.



I wish I was brave enough to do this. I don’t know I would ever have the willpower to jump off from anyplace that is that high. I am not afraid of heights and even that is too high for me.
