This Australian record-breaker was widely-publicized when he parachuted from a height of 38,696.4 meters, gaining the record title of “First person to break the sound barrier in freefall.” What was his name?
This Red Bull project was 5 years in the planning and cost an incredible $20 million to fund. The record-breaker perched on the ledge of his capsule, looking down at Earth at 99,000 ft higher than Mount Everest, before free-falling back to Earth at a tremendous speed in just over 9 minutes.
