You can watch Felix Baumgartner attempt to break the sound barrier, by jumping to the earth from 23 miles up at the edge of space. Supported by a team of experts, Felix will ascend in a helium balloon to an altitude of 120,000 ft / 36,576 m where he will take a leap of faith into the unknown in an attempt to become the first person to break the speed of sound during freefall.
He is scheduled to jump at 7 AM Central time on Sunday Oct 14th.
