Testing, testing… Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner has completed a second test for his oncoming record-breaking high-altitude free-falling attempt.
He jumped from a space capsule attached to a huge balloon from an altitude of 29,455 meters and reached a top speed of 862 km/h in free fall before opening his parachute. He landed safely in a desert in New Mexico, affording us these magnificent views along the way.
