About Highest skydive

On 24 October 2014 Alan Eustace rose under a high-altitude balloon and let go at 41,419 m over New Mexico. He fell for more than four minutes and passed the speed of sound on the way down.

He wore a pressurised suit and hung from the balloon without a capsule. His jump beat the mark set two years earlier by Felix Baumgartner from about 39 km.

You reach this landmark at 405 points. It is landmark 11 of the 21 between the ground and the Moon, which waits at 930 points. Its real height is about 2.3 times that of the previous landmark, Concorde's cruise.

Answers are worth 0 to 100 points depending on how rare they are, so even a run of nothing but the rarest answers needs at least 5 holds to get here. A fall drops you to just below the last landmark you passed, so a landmark you have reached can slip away again. See how to play for the full rules.
