Felix Baumgartner: I went faster than a bullet

Felix Baumgartner, the first skydiver to go faster than the speed of sound, has spoken about the time he jumped from space.

The 46-year-old jumped out of a balloon 128,100ft (24 miles; 39km) above New Mexico in 2012, also breaking the record for the highest ever freefall.

鈥淵ou accelerate super-fast鈥� 890mph, faster than the bullet of a gun鈥� said the Austrian.
