The First Human To Ever Skydive From Space!🤯
Description: #shorts #edits
Felix Baumgartner became the first human to break the sound barrier in freefall on October 14, 2012, when he stepped out of a capsule at an altitude of 38,969.4 metres (127,852 feet), smashing through eight world records and the sound barrier in the space of just three hours, watched live by an unprecedented eight million people on YouTube. It took just 34 seconds for him to hit Mach 1, and he ultimately reached a top speed of 1,357.6 km/h (843.6 mph) — faster than the speed of sound, which is 1,236 km/h (768 mph) — before opening his parachute after four minutes and 20 seconds and achieving a clean landing. The five-year Red Bull Stratos project carried him up in a capsule lifted by a helium balloon the size of 33 football pitches, and Baumgartner's feat shattered a skydiving record that had stood since 1960, when U.S. Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger set the previous mark of 102,800 feet — a jump Kittinger himself would go on to advise on decades later.
