Space Jumper Makes Record Leap


Felix Baumgartner landed gracefully on Earth this morning after making a 38.6 kilometre jump. Earlier this morning, Felix went up into space carried by a gigantic helium filled balloon and soon afterwards being filmed jumping out of his capsule and landing back safely on the Earth. Felix now holds a world record for falling faster then the speed of sound. Shortly after landing Felix lifted his arms in victory.

“When I was standing there, on top of the world, you become so humble, you don’t think about breaking records any more, you do not think about scientific data. The only thing you want is to come back alive.” Felix said after the jump.
