On 24 October 2014, Alan Eustace (USA) performed a stratospheric skydive from an altitude of 41,419 m above New Mexico, USA. He had achieved the altitude by ascending in a pressure suit tethered directly under a balloon, rather than inside a capsule or gondola. Eustace was a senior executive at Google at the time of his jump, which was carried out in secret without any surrounding marketing events.
