FULL VIDEO - Felix Baumgartner jumps from space
Felix Baumgartner, the man who is trying to break the world's freefall record by jumping from 23 miles above the earth, breaking the sound barrier, has jumped from space.Felix Baumgartner, a 43-year-old former military parachutist, floated for two hours in a purpose-built capsule towed by an enormous helium balloon before leaping into the record books from 128,000ft – almost four times the height of a cruising passenger airline.
He broke the current freefall record of 19.5 miles held by Joe Kittinger. Mr Kittinger, who set his record in 1960, is the only person allowed to communicate with Mr Baumgartner while he is inside the capsule which will carry him into space.
As the launch began, Mr Kittinger told Mr Baumgartner: “You’re doing great, Felix. Doing great. Everything looks green and you are on your way to space.”
Mr Baumgartner’s parents were in Roswell, New Mexico for the launch, the first time they had travelled outside of Europe. His mother could be seen weeping as her son launched into space.
Coincidentally, Baumgartner's attempted feat also marked the 65th anniversary of US test pilot Chuck Yeager successful attempt to become the first man to officially break the sound barrier aboard an airplane.
Baumgartner’s feat had been in the planning for five years was as anticipated as it was delayed. He was initially due to make the attempt last Monday but that attempt was cancelled due to high winds.
