Instead, the video and accompanying claim refer to an event involving Felix Baumgartner, an Austrian skydiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On October 14, 2012, Baumgartner performed a jump as part of the Red Bull Stratos project. He descended from an altitude of 128,100 feet (39,045 meters) above New Mexico, USA. This height is within the stratosphere, below the conventionally defined edge of space (the K\u00e1rm\u00e1n line at 100 kilometers above sea level).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Felix Baumgartner&#039;s supersonic freefall from 128k&#039; - Mission Highlights\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FHtvDA0W34I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@redbull\">Red Bull Official Youtube Channel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total descent time was approximately 10 minutes, including a freefall portion of 4 minutes and 19 seconds. This differs from the 4 minutes and 5 seconds claimed in the viral post. Baumgartner covered a distance of 24 miles (39 km), which is less than the 1,236 km mentioned in the viral post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his descent, Baumgartner achieved a maximum speed of 843.6 mph (1,357.64 km\/h), exceeding the speed of sound. He jumped from a helium balloon rather than a spacecraft. For protection against the extreme conditions, Baumgartner wore a specially designed pressure suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Felix Baumgartner&#8217;s mission on October 14, 2012, was a groundbreaking endeavor in aerospace technology. He ascended to an altitude of 24 miles above Earth in a helium balloon and made a historic freefall jump, becoming the first skydiver to break the sound barrier. The mission provided invaluable data on spacesuit design, human physiology under extreme conditions, and parachute systems. This daring feat captivated millions of viewers worldwide and contributed to advancements in aerospace safety and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The claim that an Australian scientist jumped from space at 128,000 feet is\u00a0<strong>false<\/strong>. The event in question involved Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner, who jumped from the stratosphere in 2012. This jump was a significant achievement in the field of skydiving and aerospace, but it did not involve an Australian scientist or a jump from the edge of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/fact-check\/story\/fact-check-this-is-not-an-australian-astronaut-jumping-from-spaceship-to-earth-1758971-2021-01-14\">India Today<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boomlive.in\/fact-check\/fake-news-viral-video-australian-astronaut-jumping-from-space-claim-video-supersonic-skyfall-skydiver-felix-baumgartner-fact-check-19052\">BOOM Live<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2022\/10\/14\/sport\/felix-baumgartner-red-bull-sky-dive-spt-intl\/index.html\">CNN<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/felixbaumgartner.com\/worlds-fastest-man\/\">Felix Baumgartner<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redbull.com\/ca-en\/felix-baumgartner-stratos-10-years\">Redbull<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t.container {\n\t\t\t\t\t  border: 2px solid #000;\n\t\t\t\t\t  background-color: #eee;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 5px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  padding: 16px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin: 16px 0\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container::after {\n\t\t\t\t\t  content: \"\";\n\t\t\t\t\t  clear: both;\n\t\t\t\t\t  display: table;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t  float: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 50%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container span {\n\t\t\t\t\t  font-size: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 15px;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width: 500px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  text-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  float: none;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  display: block;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/False.png\" alt=\"Avatar\" style=\"width:120px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><span>Title:<\/span>Space Jump Hoax: Viral Video Misidentifies Austrian Skydiver as Australian Scientist<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <strong>Written By:&nbsp;<a href=\"info@factcrescendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cielito Wang\n<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong>Result:<\/strong> False <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/html>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=94771514696&#038;text=Please%20send%20your%20query:%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" src=\"http:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Whats-app-sri-lanka-new.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, a viral video claiming to show an Australian scientist jumping from space has been circulating on social media.
