00:00I'm the guy who jumped from space.
00:01Within 50 seconds, I accelerated to 1,355 kilometers an hour.
00:07I broke the highest skydive in the world, fastest speed in freefall,
00:11the highest manned balloon flight, and the longest freefall.
00:15It almost took us five years.
00:16The training was tough because we didn't know in the beginning what is necessary.
00:20We did wind tunnel tests, a lot of cardio, muscle workout, skydives from different altitudes,
00:25a lot of bungee jumps with the suit in full battle gear.
00:28The biggest challenge of the project to me was working with so many people that I did not know.
00:34Communication was a quite difficult task because you're so high up.
00:38We worked together with an expert in communication, Formula One.
00:40There's a lot going through my head.
00:42Open the door, you have to disconnect from the oxygen hoses,
00:45pressurize my suit.
00:46So I had a whole checklist.
00:50Once my parachute was open and I landed,
00:52it honestly felt like I've been in prison for five years.
00:55Now they open those doors and I'm walking away in freedom.
