[QUOTE=CarlosBoozer]I'm still amazed how red bull can afford all of this :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
They have the bleeding edge top F1 team. They also sponsor other F1 teams and are involved in many other motorsports. They sell a ton of drinks worldwide.
And this isn't even half of the shit they do. And now this..
The profit margin on Red Bull is astronomical.
Haven't heard comments between Felix and Mission control since the visor heat problem..
So there's a possibility he will freeze to death or either boil to death once he jumps. God I hope not.

I was wondering if I had missed that or not.

its probably blocked for us
Haha, all respect to Felix but Kittinger was so freaking bad ass.
The guy did this 52 years ago with crappy technology and he was only 5 km under where Felix is going to jump from.
Look at Kittinger's jump;

105.000 feet.
Heat is still an issue. Getting hairy up there. I want to say we haven't heard from mission control for about 45 mins and I think there's a significant tape delay going on from what I heard.
1st record
Congrats on the record!

This only makes me wonder how the hell Kittinger and his crew could have done this 52 years ago, seriously.. :D
And yeah, Felix seem to have some major issues up there..
Insane...
He Will Jump! Final Decision!!!
