Alan Eustace who is Google executive has broken the sound barrier and set a records over the southern New Mexico desert after taking a big leap from the edge of space. View more pictures after the cut.........
After nearly three years of intense planning and training, Alan began his ascent via a high-altitude, helium-filled balloon just as the sun was rising. It took more than two hours to hit an altitude of 135,890 feet (41,419 metres), from which he separated himself from the balloon and started plummeting back to Earth. Eustace jumped from over 130,000ft in a specially designed spacesuit, beating the mark set by the Austrian Felix Baumgartner in 2012.
