world's highest skydive from space
That's one giant leap! Alan Eustace, a senior vice president at Google, set a new world record today by completing the highest-altitude skydive yet--parachuting from 135,908 feet (or 25 miles) above Earth. The record was previously held by daredevil skydiver Felix Baumgartner, who leaped from 24 miles above Earth in October 2012.
