[QUOTE=insidehoops]Washington Post:
Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner fell to Earth from 24 miles up Sunday, enrapturing millions of people following a live feed of his stunt as he became the first human being to travel faster than the speed of sound without the assistance of a craft.
During a four-minute, 20-second free fall, he reached a speed of Mach 1.24 or 833.9 miles per hour, according to an official with the National Aeronautic Association.

I think he really did take all the time he could, but the thing is he (and his equipment) weighed more than Kittinger, so his free fall took less than Kittinger's even if he jumped from a higher point.
