Felix Baumgartner is the first man on earth whom threw himself as high as 39 km from earth. Last sunday he threw himself from a capsule that was positioned between the atmosphere and space. He even past the sound wall as he clearly stated that he felt the air getting thicker at the moment he past it. As Neil Amostrongs famous words were " One small step for man, one hug leap for human kind", Felix Baumgartner's words before jumpings were "I'm going home now". After those last words in the capsule he made a freighting descent towards earth spinning over and over again at 833 miles per hour, it is only after 4 minutes and 20 seconds that he landed, on his feet, on earth.
Felix nobely says that he didn't only do it for the records but also for science and that now he would love to be a mentor and inspire the next generations.
Here is a good video of him falling
