The Red Bull Stratos Youtube video live stream of Felix Baumgartner's space jump set a new record with over 7.1 million Youtube live stream views breaking the previous record of 500,000 million views for the 2012 Summer London Olympics. Baumgartner also set another major record by being the first man to break the speed of sound.

"On the step I felt that The whole world is watching. I said I wish they would see what I see. It was amazing," Baumgartner expressed.

As he jumped out of the capsule 128,000 feet above the earth, the camera followed him down towards the earth increasing over 700 miles per hour. He appeared like a small dot compared to the vast space and planet Earth as he broke the speed of sound.

Also known as "Fearless Felix", Baumgartner reflected, "Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you are."

After Baumgartner landed on earth safely, NASA also sent a congratulatory message to Baumgartner and his team that helped make the jump safe possible.

NASA wrote, "Congratulations to Felix Baumgartner and RedBull Stratos on record-breaking leap from the edge of space!"
