The Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner has made an unprecedented leap from the edge of space. Mr Baumgartner stepped out of the capsule on the end of the helium balloon that had taken him to an altitude of 39 km. He sped towards the landing site in New Mexico at more than 1,000km an hour, breaking a high altitude record that had stood since 1960. At a press conference, Baumgartner described his moment a doubt just before jumping.

奥地利跳伞运动员菲利克斯·保加拿从太空边缘进行史无前例的一跳。他乘氦气球到离地面39千米的地方，然后从密封舱里跳下。他以每小时超过1000千米的速度向新墨西哥降落，打破了自1960年以来的高空记录。保加拿在新闻发布会上描述了自己就在跳下时候的疑惑。

What appeared at the time when I really thought I'm in trouble because I have manual push button where I can release a drogue chute which push me out of the flat spin. But at the same time, I knew that if I push that button, the thing is all over. We are not gonna fly supersonic. And it's hard, when you fall down at that speed, you have to make that decision, you know, somehow we have to make that call, do I push that button and stay alive, or do I fight all my way down and break the speed of sound and after a couple of seconds, I had that feeling, I get it under control and I did. That's the reason why I broke the speed of sound today.
