Tomorrow a daredevil is set to make a world record skydiving attempt over New Mexico.

If the weather cooperates Felix Baumgartner will jump from a balloon 23 miles above Roswell.

His body is expected to reach a speed of more than 690 miles per hour, making him the first skydiver to break the sound barrier.

The jump is expected to happen around 6:30 a.m.

Baumgartner's sponsor Red Bull plans to stream the event live online.
