I Jumped From Space World Record Supersonic Freefall

The world record for the highest freefall jump from space, also known as a supersonic freefall, was set by Felix Baumgartner on October 14, 2012. Felix Baumgartner is an Austrian skydiver and extreme sports athlete. He conducted this historic jump as part of the Red Bull Stratos project.

During this record-breaking event, Baumgartner ascended to an altitude of approximately 128,100 feet (39,045 meters) in a helium balloon and then jumped from the edge of space. As he descended, he reached a maximum speed of approximately 833.9 miles per hour (1,342.8 kilometers per hour or Mach 1.24), which made him the first human to break the sound barrier without the assistance of a vehicle. The jump was conducted to gather scientific data and gain insights into human performance at extreme altitudes and velocities.

Baumgartner's supersonic freefall was a remarkable achievement in the world of extreme sports and scientific research, and it captured the world's attention when it occurred in 2012.
