 Felix Baumgartner said, “I was fighting all the way down to regain control because I wanted to break the speed of sound. And then I hit it.”

There is an interesting statement said by the mission control before he jumped , “Guardian angels will take care of you.” Flex replied, “The whole world is watching now.”And after giving a salute he jumped and jumped to make it long lasting and he made it in the end.

Baumgartner said, “There was a period of time where I really thought, ‘I am in trouble. But after a couple of seconds, I had that feeling I’m getting it under control. And I did. And that’s why I broke the speed of sound today.”
