On October 14, 2012, Austrian extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner became the world’s first supersonic skydiver. From an altitude of 24 miles above the Earth, he jumped from a balloon hoisted capsule, and as he fell, he hit Mach 1.24 (833.9 mph to be exact), breaking the speed of sound. Tuned in via the world wide web were over 8 million live feed viewers, collectively cheering a sigh of relief as the stuntman deployed his parachute after a free fall of over 4 minutes, landing in Roswell, New Mexico.
