I'm not 100% sure, but I thought Joseph Kitinger fell at supersonic speeds in the 60s when making a similar jump from somewhere around 100K feet.

He didn't quite make it. I think he came up around 80 MPH too slow.

He passed, IIRC the standard speed of sound in a standard atmosphere. He did not break it for the altitude he was at.
The difference between going faster than 768mph and actually breaking Mach 1. I could be wrong. KBK |
