Felix Baumgartner’s Historic Jump

Earlier today, Felix Baumgartner took a stratospheric balloon flight to 127,000 feet (37,000 meters) and then, he jumped. The freefall jump was an attempt to become the first man to break the speed of sound (690 miles or 1,110 kilometers per hour). It lasted 4 minutes and 22 seconds and was the highest, but not the longest, freefall jump ever completed.
According to indicators provided by the @redbullstratos team, Baumgartner surpassed Mach 1, but the press is still awaiting official confirmation. His jump came exactly 65 years to the day after Chuck Yeager became the first man to break the sound barrier in an airplane.
