Baumgartner, known as “fearless Felix ,, made headlines around the world when it was the first sky to break the sound barrier in 2012. He wore a pressurized suit and attracted more than 24 miles from New Mexico by a giant helium balloon.
The Austrian is equivalent to 1.25 times the 843.6 mile / hour-speed speed during a nine-minute landing. At one point, when he was still supersonic, he went to a potentially dangerous flat turn, turned 13 seconds.
Il You’ll be very humble while standing there on the top of the world, “said New Mexico said. “You don’t intend to break the records anymore, you don’t intend to earn scientific data. All you want is to come to life.”
Baumgartner, a former Austrian military parachutist, made thousands of jumps from the world aircraft, bridges, skyscrapers and its places, but rejected unnecessary risks. In 2012, he said, “If someone calls me exciting or addicted to adrenaline, I am not because I am not. I love all planning”.
