Felix plans to jump from the edge of the earth's atmosphere on Sunday
Extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner dropped to Earth from more than 24.5 miles in the air in a historic fall from the edge of space in his attempt to become the world's first supersonic
skydiver.  Baumgartner stepped out of a capsule pulled by a 55-story helium balloon after it had
reached the height of 127,718 feet.  As he softly landed on Earth with the help of a parachute about
  five minutes later, Baumgartner raised his hands in victory.  Baumgartner was expected to hit a
speed of 690 mph before activating his parachute about 5,000 above the ground in southeastern New Mexico.....See Photos after the cut...
