Felix Baumgartner, the adventurer planning to skydive from an altitude of 120,000 feet (36.7 km) this summer, has spoken about the prospect of reaching the speed of sound while falling.
Mr Baumgartner told the Today programme “the biggest unknown… is what happens to the human body if it flies supersonic speeds”, saying there is no way to simulate the experience before his jump.
