Space diver, Felix Baumgartner, made a historic leap into the record books in October of last year.
Ballooning to the edge of space, Baumgartner jumped from his free-flying perch and became the first human to break the speed of sound in freefall with a top speed of 843.6 mph or Mach 1.25.
That record was achieved as the space diver fell from a distance of 127,852 feet above the Earth – the longest distance freefall in history.
As part of a new documentary “Mission to the Edge of Space: The Inside Story of Red Bull Stratos” a fascinating youtube video is now available that puts you in the space diver’s seat!
Warning: Do not try this at home!
