Austrian Felix Baumgartner has broken the record for the highest ever skydive by jumping out of a balloon 128,000ft (39km) above New Mexico.
The 43-year-old was hoping also to break the sound barrier during his descent - although that mark awaits confirmation.
Video cameras relayed the moment Baumgartner stepped from his balloon capsule to begin his fall to Earth.
It took 10 minutes for him to reach the desert surface below.
Only the last few thousand feet were negotiated by parachute.
Helicopter recovery teams have gone to the Austrian's landing site to return him to the mission control centre set up at Roswell airport.
Baumgartner's efforts have finally toppled records that have stood for more than 50 years.

They just on the news he travelled at over 800mph.
Watched it live and did fear the worst when he was spinning out of control.
Just amazing and such a controlled landing
