Re: Felix Baumgartner Space Jump
Well, that's the nature of this kind of stunt. If you want to lower the risk you have to pick the right time.

Re: Felix Baumgartner Space Jump
Is the guy going to wear a helmet cam or something? And I haven't been paying much attention to the times but it looks like it got pushed back another 45 minutes.

Weather hold is lifted, and the balloon is now being inflated.

Re: Felix Baumgartner Space Jump
It's a shame that we won't be able to see his jump.
With all the modern advanced technology and considering how much this project must have costed, wasn't there really no way that they could get a camera on him during his jump...
