This is film footage of Felix Baumgartner breaking the record for the highest skydive ever – from the edge of the earth’s atmosphere in space. The Free Fall from 39km hit 525 miles per hour (MPH) just under the speed of sound, and was sponsored by Red Bull. He was guided down by the technical expertise of staff from the Roswell Space Center in Arizona.
