A Man's Jump from Space to Earth
The jump from space to Earth that you're referring to is likely the historic space jump carried out by Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner on October 14, 2012. This event was part of the Red Bull Stratos mission.
During the jump, Baumgartner ascended to the stratosphere in a helium balloon-equipped capsule called the Red Bull Stratos capsule. The launch site was in Roswell, New Mexico, USA. He reached an altitude of approximately 128,100 feet (39,045 meters), which is in the Earth's stratosphere.
At that altitude, Baumgartner jumped from the capsule and free-fell for about 4 minutes and 20 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 843.6 miles per hour (1,357.6 kilometers per hour). He broke the sound barrier during the free fall without any mechanical propulsion, becoming the first person to do so without a vehicle. This achievement marked a significant milestone in human space exploration and high-altitude parachuting.
Baumgartner's jump not only contributed valuable data to scientific research but also demonstrated the possibility of safe, controlled human descent from extreme altitudes. The Red Bull Stratos mission involved a team of experts in various fields, including aerospace engineering, medicine, and meteorology, to ensure the success and safety of the mission.
