Felix Baumgartner took his stratospheric leap from 128,097 feet on Sunday and landed safely on both feet around 10 minutes later, touching down so gracefully that he made the whole thing look easy. Then he fell to his knees and raised his fists in triumph as his family, hundreds of people supporting his mission and, no doubt, people watching worldwide via the internet cheered. It was the perfect ending to an almost perfect mission that saw the Austrian adventurer reach an unofficial speed of 706 mph during a free fall of four minutes and 19 seconds.
