Skydiver Fearless Felix jumps from 18 miles up

In this photo provided by Red Bull Stratos, Felix Baumgartner prepares to jump during his first jump in March over Roswell, N.M. On Wednesday, the 43-year-old Austrian plunged to Earth from an altitude of more than 18 miles. He hopes to jump from 125,000 feet, or 23 miles, in a month, surpassing record holder Joe Kittinger and, like Kittinger, breaking the speed of sound with just his body.
