Claim: Video of an Australian astronaut jumping onto earth from his spacecraft covering 1,236 km in 4 minutes from a height of about 40 lakh feet.

Verdict: the person jumping from space is an austrian skydiver felix baumgartner, not an australian astronaut. felix baumgartner made a record-breaking supersonic free fall from space on 14 october 2012, as part of the red bull stratos mission. he jumped from 1,28,097 feet or about 24 miles above the earth and reached the earth in less than 10 minutes. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
