Felix Baumgartner's supersonic freefall from 128k' - Mission Highlights - YouTube

i'm sure many of you have seen this recently as Felix Baugartner takes a free fall jump from 39,000 meters up in the sky. It was a record breaking 4.2 minutes worth of free fall, reaching a top speed of 1,342.8 km per hour and was able to break the sound barrier.

Just amazing.
