In 2012, Felix Baumgartner set a world record for skydiving from an altitude of 128,100 feet.  Alan Eustace planned his jump in secrecy, working for almost three years with a small group of technologists skilled in spacesuit design, life-support systems, and parachute and balloon technology.  After a 2 hour ascent, Mr. Eustace cut himself loose from the balloon with the aid of a small explosive device and fell toward the earth at speeds that peaked at 822 miles per hour, setting off a small sonic boom heard by people on the ground.  “It was amazing. It was beautiful. You could see the darkness of space and you could see the layers of atmosphere, which I had never seen before.”
