Pilot Felix Baumgartner of Austria is seen in a screen at mission control center in the capsule during the final manned flight for Red Bull Stratos in Roswell, N.M., Sunday.

 
October 14, 2012

Extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner has landed on Earth after a jump from the stratosphere in what could be the world's first supersonic skydive.

Baumgartner landed in eastern New Mexico desert minutes after jumping from 128,000 feet, or 24 miles.

He lifted his arms in victory shortly after landing.

He took off in a pressurized capsule carried by a 55-story ultra-thin helium balloon. He jumped from more than three times the height of the average cruising altitude for jetliners.

Baumgartner was expected to hit a speed of 690 mph before activating his parachute about 5,000 above the ground in southeastern New Mexico.

There has to be a sonic boom. It's physics. Or, it's physics and there wasn't one. The speed of sound is usually expressed at sea level. Right? Does it get slower with less atmosphere? Or, the other way around?

Well......

Wouldn't his space suit would shred to pieces if he hit the speed of sound at normal atmosphere.

Well he did, and survived ta tell the tale. Gotta admit though, had doubts he'd survive at all, so the story continues:

Its all math, no way he was going to do it knowing he would burn up or his blood would boil. Kinda surprised you thought he wouldn't make it.

On a side note, there were engineers who knew the Columbia was going to burn up when it reentered
