Watch Red Bull Stratos and Felix Baumgartner as they've completed their mission of a successful space jump from 120,000 feet or 24 miles. The recorded video below is of the freefall portion of the mission, where Baumgartner reached a maximum speed of 729 miles per hour. He has broken the record for the highest skydive as well as the highest balloon flight.
After the disappointing cancellation of the launch this past Tuesday, Red Bull Stratos scheduled the earliest possible launch to be Sunday October 14th. The science team for Stratos said in a statement "We're not giving up."
It is still to be determined if Baumgartner really broke the speed of sound. At an altitude of 5,000 feet, Baumgartner opened his parachute and landed safely.
