On October 14th 2012 millions of people watched Live as Felix Baumgartner broke the speed of sound in free-fall via the Red bull Stratos Mission to the Edge of Space. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out here (redbullstratos.com). When it was all said and done, he reached 834 miles per hour, or Mach 1.24. He also broke the record for the highest jump at nearly 128,000 feet. I edited this up within a few hours of watching the final jump. I used the data the Reb Bull Stratos mission gave out post jump, so I apologize if some of the numbers are not the current record breaking ones.
