Topic Reading-Vol.191-10/19/2012

Dear MEL School's Topic Readers,
Skydiver Felix Baumgartner lands highest ever jump.
Can you believe jumping out of a balloon from 39km above the ground, for over four minutes of free fall, reaching a supersonic top speed over 1,000km, which is faster than today’s any commercial aircraft, and landing safely on a target site on the ground?
An Austrian jumper broke the record of the highest jump, which had been built over 50 years ago, being supported by that record holder, wearing an astronaut-like suit and oxygen tank. It’s simply astonishing, isn’t it?
Enjoy reading the article and watching the video of this astonishing record breaking jump.
