Felix Baumgartner’s 24 Mile Jump to Earth

LA Times

On Oct. 14, 2012, the Austrian skydiver stepped off the narrow porch of an experimental capsule hovering  127,852 feet over New Mexico and became the first free-falling person to break the sound barrier. Instruments recorded his top speed at 843.6 miles per hour, which is 1.25 times faster the speed of sound.  (YouTube Link)
