    A series of amazing photos released by the Red Bull Stratos project shows a skydiver's 13-mile leap.Austrian adventurer Felix Baumgartner is hoping to make the world's highest skydive this summer. As a practice run, he leaped from a custom built capsule at an altitude of 71,581 feet (21,818 meters), marking his personal highest-jump ever.

    In this photo provided by Red Bull, Pilot Felix Baumgartner of Austria seen on his way to the capsule during the first manned test flight for Red Bull Stratos on March 15, 2012 in Roswell, New Mexico. In this test he reach the altitude 21800 meters (71500 ft) and landed safely near Roswell. Red Bull Stratos is a mission to the edge of the earths atmosphere, where upon reaching altitude of 120,000 feet by helium baloon, pilot and basejumper Felix Baumgartner will then freefall to the ground in an attempt to break the speed of sound.

    About eight minutes after he leaped, the skydiver landed roughly 30 miles (48 kilometers) from Roswell, N.M., where his capsule had been carried aloft by a balloon that morning. Photos show him smiling and embracing members of the Red Bull Stratos team backing him, including life support engineer Mike Todd.
