Austrian pilot and sky diver Felix Baumgartner set a world record Sunday for the highest
parachute jump,
safelylanding after leaping from a capsule carried by a helium
balloon to an
altitude of 128,100 feet, some 24 miles up.
地利飞行员、跳伞运动员鲍姆加特纳(Felix Baumgartner)周日创造了世界最高跳伞纪录。他在12.81万英尺(约合3.9万米)的高空,从挂在氦气球下的太空舱跳下并安全着陆。
He also broke the sound
barrier during his free fall, as he had hoped, reaching a
velocity of 833.9 miles an hour
