AUSTRIAN extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner has started his ascent to 37 kilometres above Earth, hoping to make a death-defying free fall that could make him the first skydiver to break the sound barrier.
Baumgartner has taken off in the New Mexico desert in a pressurised capsule carried by a 55-storey ultra-thin helium balloon that is expected to take nearly three hours to climb into the stratosphere.
Baumgartner will jump into a near vacuum with no oxygen to begin what is expected to be the fastest, farthest free fall from the highest-ever manned balloon.
Any contact with the capsule on his exit could tear the pressurised suit, a rip that could expose him to a lack of oxygen and temperatures as low as minus 57C.
