Sunday was a day to remember for daredevil skydiver Felix Baumgartner.
More than 5 years of research and preparation would finally pay off for this
very brave man. Felix landed quite gracefully after jumping from his capsule
from a height of 24 miles. Not only was
this a record breaking height, but the preliminary results show that he hit a
world record speed of Mach 1.24 or 833 mph. Breaking the sound barrier with the
human body alone has never been accomplished. Baumgartner’s jump lasted about
nine minutes and about half of that time was spent falling. With no reference
point for how fast he was falling, Felix said it was hard to articulate the
feeling he experienced while falling at this record shattering speed.
So, after accomplishing this amazing and very dangerous feat, what
could possibly be next for “Fearless Felix “? He plans to settle down and fly
helicopters on mountains rescue and firefighting missions in Austria and the U.
S.
