Daredevil dives 18 miles to N.M. landing

Record-breaking skydive still to come

ROSWELL, N.M. (KRQE) - Skydiver Felix Baumgartner has done it again, this time in the sky over New Mexico.

The Austrian daredevil plunged to earth today from an altitude of more than 96,000 feet to a safe landing near Roswell.

He's aiming for a record-breaking jump from 125,000 feet in another month when he hopes to go supersonic breaking the speed of sound with just his body.

It's the second stratospheric leap for "Fearless Felix".

In March he ascended in an enclosed capsule lifted by a giant helium balloon wearing a full-pressure suit and parachutes.
