Felix Baumgartner's huge leap
In 2012, Felix Baumgartner broke the world record for the highest skydive by jumping from the edge of space.
In 2012, former Austrian paratrooper Felix Baumgartner was watched live by millions as he ascended into the stratosphere in a helium balloon. He then jumped an estimated 38km from space back to earth.
In doing so, he broke the speed of sound and the highest skydive record that had lasted more than 50 years.
Felix spoke to Dan Hardoon about his big leap in 2022.
