FELIX BAUMGARTNER

Felix Baumgartner, the spaceman. Jumped from a balloon, and landed safely on Earth on Sunday. Breaking the speed barrier with his body along the way, Going 850 mph from 24 miles up.
Braking the world record for the highest skydive.

35 seconds in to the dive he started to spin, people called it the dead spin. As spinning he put his hands closer to his body, suddenly making him stop.

After spinning he pulled the rope and the parachute pop up. Not long down he landed the whole world went crazy, as he land

  1. It is such a shame that his glasses fogged up and therefore he couldn't keep track of the time in order to break the world record for the longest free fall. I wonder what it is that makes some humans want to do things like that?! Would you do it Josh?
