Seems to have passed without the same fanfare as Baumgartner's effort. |

Well Baumgartner had Red Bull behind him who were giving it a big media push. Although to be fair, being the second man to do something never gets you as much publicity as being the first. |

Thought Baumgartner was the first to go supersonic without a plane? That was the big thing about his drop - nobody knew quite what effect it would have on him. |

He might have gone supersonic, but the hype was about the height record... |
