Weather is good, so the world record attempt is currently running, with live coverage..

114,000 feet is a new record for manned ascent in a balloon...

So he didn't break the free fall record though, right?

Another 20 seconds and he would have got it..
He got the highest jump at 128k feet and with fastest jump of 720 mph (awaiting confirmation)


Absolutely freaking amazing!!

The video was cool indeed. He needs better ground people with correct information LOL.

Apparently it all has to be confirmed with the "on-board" telemetry devices in his suit..
Either way an amazing feat..

Yes a tremendous jump

It would appear he DID trash the speed of sound

The adventurer plummeted at an estimated 833.9mph (1,343km/h), hitting Mach 1.24.
