3 Comments in Response to World's Highest Skydive! Daredevil Makes Record-Breaking Supersonic Jump
Official record:
Exit 128,097 feet [highest altitude parachute jump, highest altitude human travel by balloon]
Speed Mach 1.24, or 884MPH [fastest freefall] exactly 65 years after Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier flying in an experimental rocket-powered airplane.
4:19 minutes in freefall. Chute deployed at 5,200 feet. Mission Director Joe Kittinger still holds the record for the longest amount of time in freefall without a droge chute, after Baumgartner broke his altitude and speed record.
The capsule landed 55 miles East of where Baumgartner landed.
