Felix Baumgartner's supersonic freefall from 128k' - Mission Highlights

After flying to an altitude of 39,045 meters (128,100 feet) in a helium-filled balloon, Felix Baumgartner completed a record breaking jump for the ages 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 freefall. 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.

I love his pre-jump statement: "I'm going home now". No matter the outcome, that was perfect.

“Alright now, the whole world is watching now. I wish you could see what I can see. Sometimes you have to get up really high to understand how small you are. I’m going home now.” 
- Felix Baumgartner.


Thank you for displaying great bravery in the face of danger for all of humanity.

I feel like this was a really under appreciated achievement for humans.

Fact, he didn't jump. His balls was so heavy it generated enough gravity to pull the earth towards him.

Imagine if he was wearing a wingsuit how far he could travel

Wait, doesn't redbull give you wiiings? why didn't he fly up?

Bruh it took him like less than 10 minutes to get from space to Earth, but it takes 4 hours for my pizza to be delivered

I remember when this happened. Some girl drank bleach and everyone gave her attention and ignored this amazing achievement.

[honeydhydra]

Everytime: "I'm going home now" *jumps*

Skin: *goosebumps*❤️

I remember watching this live.. Anyone here who watched this live?

[Katetengen]

Um...wait. You need to tell me that there are actually people who think the earth is flat? What the actual fuck?

[WingingItCrypto]

I absolutely love how Red Bull makes stuff like this happen just because they can. It feels like there's just a team of people sitting down going "imagine if we..." then making it happen 😅

[cachephish]

Holy shit.. People still fucking believe that the Earth is flat?...

🎉 5 year anniversary 🎉, who remembers watching live?
