Millions watched him as he shattered the sound barrier and then landed safely about nine minutes later, becoming the world's first supersonic skydiver.

Baumgartner said after the jump: "The only thing you want is to come back alive."

Landing on his feet in the desert, the man lifted his arms in victory to the cheers of jubilant friends and spectators. Among them was his mother, Eva Baumgartner, who was overcome with emotion, crying.

Baumgartner has said he plans to settle down with his girlfriend.
