Just about now, Felix will jump from 39 km height above the Earth in try to break the sound barrier speed.. Good Luck!

They missed a trick with this...when he landed they should have greeted him in ape suits. That would have made for good tv.
 
Just watched highlights on BBC site.
I was punching the air throughout?!!
Strange I did that but I loved it.
What a guy! Breaking the sound barrier!!Wow!! Was there a boom heard or couldn't that happen??
Hope I can watch a full run through on youtube or elsewhere
 
They said there wouldn't be a sonic boom as the air is too thin. Sonic booms are to do with air molecules building up on a surface, as the air was so thin there weren't enough molecules apparently!!!
 
Yeah guess i should have thought of that!! Doh!
Watched the whole jump now.How did he pull out of that spin?!!!
Awesome viewing!!
