Felix Baumgartner Freefalls to Earth from Outerspace!

On Sunday October 14, 2012 Australian Felix Baumgartner plunged to planet earth from the edge of outer space.  Felix traveled in a small capsule attached to a 7 story hot air balloon from a height of over 128,000 ft from the surface of the earth.  He became the first human to break the sound barrier by free falling.  Felix reached speeds of over 850mph passing the speed of sound by almost 100mph!
