Felix Baumgartner set two world records on Sunday, becoming the first skydiver to break the speed of sound by jumping from 128,000 feet in southeastern New Mexico.
He also set a record on the way up by rising 24 miles up in the air in a capsule attached to a large helium balloon before making the leap. The Austrian daredevil known as "Fearless Felix" traveled as fast as Mach 1.24 at one point, which is well past the speed of sound.
For the stunt, he wore a space suit, helmet and a parachute, and battled low temperatures, thin atmosphere and a possible loss of consciousness.
