  • Then-Capt. Joseph Kittinger stands next to the Excelsior gondola which, supported by a helium balloon, carried him 102,800 feet above Earth. Kittinger set historical records for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest drogue fall and fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere. The 52-year-old records stood until last fall when an effort aided by Kittinger himself broke his records (Credits: U.S. Air Force photo).Stratospheric Leap - A Supersonic Human
