Skydive Felix plunged down to Earth in a 25 mile free fall on Oct. 14, breaking the sound barrier! Felix Baumgartner hit mach 1.24 as he plummeted to Earth from 128,000 feet, a feat he had been planning for five years! One tiny error could have made his blood boil and his brain explode. For more than four minutes, Felix was a white speck falling through a dark sky plunging from 24.5 miles above the Earth at up to 834mph! Then, Felix’s parachute opened and five minutes later he successfully landed on the ground having made the highest and fastest skydive in history! After the fall he said, “Trust me, when you stand up there on top of the world, you become so humble. It’s not about breaking records any more. It’s not about getting scientific data. The only thing you want is to come back alive.”
