What a record this is.Truly Gutsy! I can hardly sit in an airplane as I'm afraid of heights but the way this man has created history ascending by a helium balloon to an altitude of 128,100 feet is truly amazing.This 24 Miles, 4 Minutes and 834 M.P.H all in one jump is a milestone and will definitely take some doing before the record is broken.

The First record was created by Joe Kittinger,who is now 84 years old and is a retired Air Force colonel.Felix Baumgartner With the help of the reassuring voice from Joe Kittinger at mission control was guided through tense moments. At one point the engineers considered to abort the mission when faceplate of Mr. Baumgartner began fogging during the ascent, but he insisted on proceeding and continued doing the jump blind and here i am who stops when there is heavy rain while driving the car.Some people are indeed truly special.I don't think there are many daredevils out there.

The video of the freefall shows a black of space which surrounds a round blue world as he stepped off into the void and had a free fall for more than four minutes, and reached a maximum speed of 833.9 miles per hour or Mach 1.24.
