October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner ascended more than 24 miles above Earth's surface to the edge of space in a stratospheric balloon. Millions across the globe watched as he opened the door of the capsule, stepped off the platform, and broke the speed of sound while free falling safely back to Earth.

Felix set three world records that day and inspired us all to reach beyond the limits of our own realities, and reimagine our potential to achieve the incredible.

Yup. I have it permanently recorded and locked on my PVR. A moment in history for sure.

Proves the Star Trek space jump can be done. Truly wild.

Could you imagine what would be going through your head standing on that step looking down. Incredible never send this before thanks for sharing this.

I read that he went out partying that same night and randomly collapsed on a sidewalk, and apparently not from whatever he was consuming that night, either. Scary shit.

It is amazing, especially considering he lost control on the way down and went into a spin that took him a while to get under control.

Yeah, and at about 650 MPH! I'm surprised he survived!
