Cool; he did it today and he's alive, well, and celebrating. Highlights from the news:
-While spinning in his free-fall, "I really thought, 'I am in trouble,'" Baumgartner recalls
-He soared up to 24 miles -- for the highest balloon ride and highest jump ever
-Then the Austrian daredevil hit 833.9 mph at one point, breaking the speed of sound
-Risks were low temperatures, thin atmosphere and a possible loss of consciousness
