Faster than a speeding bullet: Supersonic skydiver Fearless Felix plummets from nearly 128,000 feet in incredible record-breaking drop from the edge of space

Extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner dropped to Earth from more than 24.5 miles in the air in a historic fall from the edge of space in his attempt to become the world's first supersonic skydiver.
Baumgartner stepped out of a capsule pulled by a 55-story helium balloon after it had reached the height of 127,718 feet.

As he softly landed on Earth with the help of a parachute about five minutes later, Baumgartner raised his hands in victory.
