Felix broke several world records in accomplishing this incredible feat which saw him break the speed of sound. He set a new skydiving record, at about 128,000 ft (39 km), reaching a speed of about 834 mph (1,342 kmh), or Mach 1.24.

He also broke a YouTube world record for number of concurrent views (about 8 million people watched the space jump live).

This isn't the first time Felix has tried something like this - watch some of his 'top' free falls on YouTube.
