Felix Baumgartner is one real daredevil who's going to jump from the record-breaking height of 120000 ft. During his freefall, he'll attain supersonic speeds. You can catch the event live here -



It's going to be one heck of a freefall to watch, folks. Keep your eyes glued to the screens! If you've anything to say about the jump, say it in the comments below.

Approximately 3 hours to go.

    Looks like bad weather conditions have forced the team to put the attempt on hold. Current estimate is that the team will check again after about 1.5 hours. Wish you all the best, Felix!

    After flying to an altitude of 39,045 meters (128,100 feet) in a helium-filled balloon, Felix Baumgartner completed a record breaking jump for the ages from the edge of space, exactly 65 years after Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier flying in an experimental rocket-powered airplane. Felix reached a maximum of speed of 1,342.8 km/h (833mph) through the near vacuum of the stratosphere before being slowed by the atmosphere later during his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtvDA0W34I&feature=b-mv#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Felix Baumgartner's supersonic freefall from 128k' - Mission Highlights - YouTube</a>minute long freefall. The 43-year-old Austrian skydiving expert also broke two other world records (highest freefall, highest manned balloon flight), leaving the one for the longest freefall to project mentor Col. Joe Kittinger.
