(CNN) - Later this summer, Austrian Daredevil Felix Baumgartner will attempt the longest and highest free-fall ever: from about 120-thousand feet above sea-level. That's more than 22-miles. If he pulls it off, he'll also break the speed of sound. No one's ever gone outside a plane or spacecraft, to fly at more than 690-miles an hour.
