Historic jump from edge of space
Felix Baumgartner a 43-year-old Austrian became the first person to go faster than the speed of sound without traveling on jet or spacecraft. He was in an open hatch of a capsule suspended above Earth wondering that if he jump he could make it back alive, millions of people were watching him become the world´s first supersonic skydiver on Internet and more than 40 television stations in 50 countries carried the live feed. He jumped to New Mexico desert 24 miles, landing his feet on desert, lifted his arms in victory.
In an interview after he was on earth he says:
"When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data,"The only thing you want is to come back alive."
