El atleta extremo Felix Baumgartner saltó el domingo desde una altura de 38 kilómetros (24 millas) sobre la Tierra para tratar de romper la barrera del sonido con su propio cuerpo.
Baumgartner alcanzó la estratósfera en una cápsula elevada por un globo lleno de helio y saltó al vacío a casi 128.000 pies de altura.
El viaje hasta el suelo tarda unos 10 minutos.

Earlier, the launch team said they were aiming for the three-hour ascent to begin Sunday at 8 a.m. The jump was postponed twice last week because of high winds.
