Sky Diver Breaks Sound Barrier

Skydiver lands safely after historic jump from edge of space - CNN.com

Felix Baumgartner jumped from a balloon that was 24 miles above sea level, basically the edge of the atmosphere. It's estimated that he reached speeds of over 670 mph. For those that don't know, a regular sky dive is normally between 1 to 2 miles and they reach around 100 mph.

I've been following this story for awhile, they kept canceling his jump because of weather. I think it's kind of ironic that today is the anniversary of the first person to break the sound barrier in an airplane.
