In a miraculous feat of human engineering, Felix Baumgartner successfully jumped from the very edge of space (over 24 miles in the air) in nothing but a space suit. He was in free fall for over 4 minutes, and broke the speed of sound. That makes him the only man in history to do so.
Congratulations to Felix and the entire Red Bull Stratos Team for making this amazing feat a reality!
This video is almost 15 minutes long but it’s well worth the watch.
