Skydiver jumps into stratosphere 24 miles over New Mexico by Fredy Medina


The Austrian Felix Baumgartner is the first sky diver to break the speed of sound.
He jumped  near the edge of space 24 miles above earth.
Baumgartner was carried into the stratosphere in a fiber glass and acrylic capsule by an  enormous ballon. His body pierced the atmosphere falling at 700 miles per hour. Baumgartner broke records for the highest altitude manned ballon flight and the highest altitude skydiver.

  2. The video was so surreal, it was hard to believe that people actually do things like that, but those are always the heroes.
