Der Salzburger Extremsportler landete kurz nach 21:00 Uhr (MESZ) sicher in der Wüste von New Mexiko. Zuvor versetzte der 43jährige ein weltweites Millionenpublikum in Staunen: In 39.045 Metern Höhe verließ Baumgartner seine Kapsel, erreichte nach wenigen Sekunden 1.342,8 km/h und durchbrach somit als erster Mensch im freien Fall die Schallmauer.
Nach 4 Minuten und 20 Sekunden zog Baumgärtner die Reißleine und landete sicher wenige Kilometer außerhalb der Missionsbasis in Rosswell. Mit der erfolgreich beendeten Mission stellte der Extremsportler mindestens drei neue Weltrekorde auf:
1. Den höchsten Absprung (39.045 Meter)
2. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit während eines Freifalls (1.342,8 km/h, Mach 1,24)
3. Den höchsten bemannten Ballon-Flug (39.045 Meter)
Felix Baumgärtner über seinen Rekordspung: „Wenn man am Rande des Weltalls steht, merkt man erst, wie klein man ist. Ich bin einfach heilfroh, lebend zurück bei meiner Familie und meinen Freunden zu sein."

In front of a global audience of millions who watched the mission live, Felix Baumartner took off, ascending to a total of 24.5 miles in a stratospheric balloon before jumping out.
While standing outside his capsule preparing to
jump from the edge of space Felix said, "Sometimes you have to go
really high to understand how small you are."
After accelerating to a top speed of 1342.8 km/h during a freefall of 4m 19s, Felix deployed his parachute, landing safely on the ground and toppling records that have stood for more than 50 years. In total, Felix's freefall saw him drop 119,846 feet before deploying his parachute.
Baumgartner and his team spent five years training and preparing for the mission that is designed to improve our scientific understanding of how the body copes with the extreme conditions at the edge of space.
