Man jumps from Stratosphere

Tuesday, October 9, 2012

Today, at 5:30 AM PT/12:30 PM GMT, Austrian sky diver/base jumper Felix Baumgartner will attempt to break the world record and become the first man freefall with the speed of sound (an estimated 690 miles / 1,110 kilometers per hour). To do so, he will be jumping from a stratospheric balloon at the edge of space, 120,000 feet above the Earth's surface.

You can watch it live in the video embedded below.

Update: the launch has been postponed due to strong winds which made the launch impossible. More details - here
