The captivating print captures a historic moment in human achievement as Eva Baumgartner, an Austrian mother, watches her son Felix embark on a daring jump from his capsule at an astonishing altitude of 39,045 meters. On that fateful day of October 14th, 2012, Felix shattered records and defied limits by becoming the first skydiver to break the sound barrier. As Felix plunges into freefall for four minutes and twenty seconds, reaching a mind-boggling maximum velocity of 1342.8 kilometers per hour (mach 1.24), Eva's eyes are filled with both pride and concern for her daredevil son. This image encapsulates the indomitable spirit of human exploration and pushes the boundaries of what is possible. This extraordinary feat not only etches its mark in history but also symbolizes mankind's unyielding quest to conquer new frontiers. The red bull stratos mission to the edge of space catapulted Felix into international acclaim as he soared higher than any other person before him. In this photograph, we witness a mother witnessing her child make history—a testament to their unwavering bond and support throughout this audacious endeavor. Eva Baumgartner stands as a representation of all those who have stood behind visionaries pushing beyond limitations.
