  • Fastest Skydiver Joseph Kittinger
  • I heard that a man jumped from a balloon at the edge of space and broke the sound barrier during his fall. Who was he and when did this happen?
  • 16 August 1960, Kittinger jumped from a balloon high in the stratosphere to make the longest skydive from the highest altitude in history
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • He did reach a peak velocity of 614 mph (988 km/h)
  • Excelsior III helium-filled balloon and reached a new record altitude of 102,800 ft (31,330 m)
  • sharp pain in his right hand due to a failure in the glove of his pressure suit
  • three times higher than a commercial airliner typically flies
  • Kittinger experienced air temperatures as low as -94°F (-70°C)
  • why so many sources mistakenly claim that Joseph Kittinger broke the sound barrier during his 1960 skydive
