Red Bull Stratos - freefall from the edge of space
 

Live stream.

Looks like its going to be launched at 1130 est.

Red Bull Stratos is a mission to the edge of space that will try to surpass human limits that have existed for more than 50 years. Supported by a team of experts, Felix Baumgartner will undertake a stratospheric balloon flight to more than 120,000 feet / 36,576 meters and make a record-breaking freefall jump in the attempt to become the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall (an estimated 690 miles / 1,110 kilometers per hour), while delivering valuable data for medical and scientific advancement.

didn't they already do this?

I'm probalby wrong though. seems like I remember seeing a vid of it.

Weather delay. Should be happening right now.

that was the final test run

Yes, they are filing the balloon.

oh. ok.

They did a high up jump a few months ago. I take it this is even higher~

LoL it sounds like the guy is freaking out a tad.

wish i had sound. damnit carl.

I'm sure all of us Chiefs fans are waiting for him to splat so we can cheer his demise.

pussies they are aborting

just cancelled

for the day, or just temporarily?

well that was anticlimactic

its ballsy and cool and all, but wtf? that is quite a bit of money and resources to pay to have a dude freefall from space when we already know you can do it rather safely in an aircraft.
