October 14, 2012 (ROSWELL, N.M.) -- Extreme athlete
Felix Baumgartner landed safely on Earth after a 24-mile jump from the
stratosphere in a dramatic, daring feat that may also have marked the world's
first supersonic skydive.
Baumgartner came down in the eastern New Mexico
desert minutes after jumping from his capsule 128,097 feet, or roughly 24
miles, above Earth. He lifted his arms in victory shortly after landing,
sending off loud cheers from jubilant onlookers and friends inside the
mission's control center in Roswell, N.M. Breaking the World skydive altitude
record.
