"The 57-year-old leapt out in a specially-designed space suit, reaching speeds of more than 1,300km/h.
He exceeded the speed of sound, setting off a small sonic boom, and set several skydiving records in the process."

It's might be cheaper to come here to Houston for two weeks and get your license. I recommend Skydive Spaceland, Houston ..... an excellent skydiving center with a strong emphasis on safety. If you take a vacation once a year anyway ..... that would be the time.

He's still a leg. No, really, I hope he gets some awesome wings for that feat. Wish I was rich enough to do it.

We've had a few sky dive deaths recently and some bad Hot Air balloon accidents. I'm keeping my feet on the ground thank you very much!
