>>> all right. check this out here. an unbelievable athlete, felix b baumgartn baumgartner. today he broke the highest sky dive record after free falling more than 23 miles from the edge of space. at this point, it's not certain he actually broke the speed of sound , though, which was one of the mission's goals as well. apparently he's doing just fine. he's healthy, too.
