Red Bull Stratos has launched! Felix Baumgartner is currently rising in his capsule, with about 2 hours until he reaches his peak altitude of 120,000 feet. He'll jump from the capsule to reach speeds over 650 mph, breaking the sound barrier with only his body within the first 30 seconds of his descent.

So did he do it?

Yeah. He hit Mach 1.24 (800+ mph) during his descent.

833mph

Dang! I missed it. I saw a clip of it, pretty cool looking. I would like to see some more of the jump.
