As we reported to you a few weeks back, Felix Baumgartner is aiming to break the sound barrier by jumping from 23 miles above Earth and last week he took to the skies for a practice jump!
The jump took place above the skies of Mexico, a mere 13 miles above ground. This practice jump has actually placed Felix in an elite group of only 3 that have jumped from such high altitude. The Red Bull laden space man tested out his pressurised capsule and full-pressure suit in preperation for the main event in a few months time.
