    I guess that was pretty obvious care to take a guess at the speed? Hint: it was from a NASA experiment. 8)

    Hey good guess

    http://www.elchineroconcepts.com/Joe%20Kittinger.htm


    Joe Kittinger's 100,000-foot 1960 balloon jump

    Joe Kittinger is not a household aviation name like Neil Armstrong or Chuck Yeager.? But what he did for the U.S. space program is comparable.? On August 16, 1960, as research for the then-fledgling U.S. space program, Air Force Captain Joseph Kittinger rode a helium balloon to the edge of space, 102,800 feet above the earth, a feat in itself.? Then, wearing just a thin pressure suit and breathing supplemental oxygen, he leaned over the cramped confines of his gondola and jumped -- into the 110-degree-below-zero, near vacuum of space.? Within (22) seconds his body accelerated to 714 mph in the thin air, breaking the sound barrier.?
    Then there's:

    123,500: Highest flight by a balloon, piloted by Nicholas Piantanida (in an abortive skydive attempt), February 2, 1966.
