Search: Skydiver to jump from ‘edge of space’

From a helium balloon 120,000 feet in the air (how many miles is that?), daredevil skydiver Felix Baumgartner (watch one of his jumps) plans to leap from a small capsule into the sky and into the history books (what barrier does he hope to break?).  The stunt (sponsored by this company) has reportedly been three years in the making (will it be the first jump from such an altitude?).
