Felix Baumgartner of Austria reacts after
his mission was aborted in Roswell, N.M., on Oct. 9. For the second
straight day, the extreme athlete aborted his planned death-defying
23-mile free fall because of the weather, postponing his quest to become
the world's first supersonic skydiver until at least Thursday.

ROSWELL, N.M. — Austrian
skydiver Felix Baumgartner broke the record for the highest manned
balloon flight on Sunday after his craft rose 23 miles (37 km) above New
Mexico, project sponsors said.
The 43-year-old daredevil was inside a capsule tethered to the
massive but extremely delicate helium balloon high above Roswell, New
Mexico.He aimed to set four world records, including jumping from the capsule to become the first person to break the speed of sound in a skydiving freefall.
