Astronauts in the United States and Europe sent congratulations to Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner today (Oct. 14)2012, showering the daredevil with praise after he broke the world record for the highest skydive during a harrowing supersonic freefall. Baumgartner, 43, set the new record for the worlds highest skydive when he jumped from an altitude of 128,097 feet (39,044 meters) — the equivalent of just over 24 miles (39 kilometers) —and broke the sound barrier during his long descent back to Earth. The daring supersonic jump caught the eye of professional astronauts, even if Baumgartner did not leap from the official edge of space 62 miles (100 km) up! CREDIT: Red Bull Stratos
