Skydiver Leaps From 18 Miles Up In 'Space Jump' Practice

While these things are somewhat debatable, Baumgartner's future "space jump" is not due to take place in what most consider "space."

FTFA:

Baumgartner has his eyes on an even bigger leap, a "space jump" from 125,000 feet (38,100 m) in the next month or so. (Space, however, is generally considered to begin at an altitude of 62 miles, or 327,000 feet.)

It's still a great feat and laudable they went ahead with it despite ridiculous legal challenges:

Baumgartner and his team had hoped to attempt his record jump in 2010, but they were delayed by a legal challenge that claimed the idea of the dive was earlier suggested to Red Bull by California promoter Daniel Hogan.
