Jump from a height of 41 kilometers: Baumgartner's record was broken by the vice president of Google
You can't ban a beautiful life: 57-year-old senior vice-president of Google Alan Eustace broke Felix Baumgartner's high-altitude record by jumping from a height of 41 kilometers above the desert in New Mexico, not far from Roswell .
You can watch a full video about climbing and jumping on the New York Times website.
He surpassed Baumgartner's record by almost 2.5 km (41419 against 38,969 meters). Like Baumgartner, during the fall he broke the sound barrier, reaching a speed of 800 mph (~ 1300 km / h or 358 m / s) - becoming the second person to do this without using a vehicle.
This jump has already been described in Wikipedia. According to her, the training took him three years: since 2011, Paragon Space Development has developed a life support system that would allow Eustace to breathe pure oxygen under pressure during lifting and jumping.

The jump took place in the early morning of Friday, October 24th. The rise began with an abandoned highway near the famous town of Roswell, New Mexico.

The rise in the stratosphere took him 2 hours, the jump back - just 15 minutes.
Go!
According to Eustace, he himself did not hear the passage of the sound barrier - but then he was heard by observers.
According to the New York Times, in his spare time, Eustace pilots the twin-engine Cessna and has a reputation as a thrill seeker in the Valley.
