Felix Baumgartner - Highlight Video from Supersonic Freefall

Here are highlights from Felix Baumgartner's record-breaking spacejump yesterday. My heart was pounding minutes before he jumped! It was so scary exciting to watch live. The jump was seen by 8 million concurrent users on YouTube -- the most ever.

From YouTube:

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 1,342.8 km/h (833mph) 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.
