Red Bull Stratos !!!!

[cally-dave]

I think we will get to see it, the guy talking over the stream said something about it being filmed with infra red so we can actually see him... Or something like that.

The infra red is completely diff mate, its been flicking to the infra red cam a few times, showing the heat coming from felix in the capsule and the baloon too

 

[cally-dave]

Yeah it isn't heating properly

 

[wrapture]

He's past the highest previous skydive height. He must be pooing himself up there.

Now he just has to pass the highest manned ballon flight, 113,000ft.

I see, well as long as we get to see the jump one way or another i'll be happy!

Alright chums, let's do this. FELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX BAUMGARTNER!!!!

 

[gtsmashbros]

About a minute left!

 

[R0ssingt0n]

This better be awesome!

Edit: 120,000ft!!!!

 

[Centura]

They expect it to go up to 125,000 feet, so another 5000 feet left.

Hmm. The speed is double of what it have been doing recently.

EDIT: It have pretty much stopped.

 

[Loon]

Slowed down to a crawl. That balloon is HUGE! Jump is cleared.

Sped up again. This is getting intense.

 

[gtsmashbros]

Cleared to jump!!

 

[G.T.Ace]

The climbing rate looks funky, pretty fast right now.
Hope it's nothing critical.

 

[Centura]

The speed is over 10 m/s now, all of a sudden. Scary.

 

[Furinkazen]

I am scared.

 

[mattythedog]

They're trying to stop this sudden ascent by venting some helium. A bit odd its still climbing.

 

[R0ssingt0n]

surely that can't be TOO much of an issue?

He's descending now...

 

[Lucas]

I just want to tell you good luck. We're all counting on you.

 

[gtsmashbros]

The sudden increase in climb speed was scary.

 

[Centura]

It's still climbing at 1 m/s.

This is extremely tense. I wish you luck, Felix, and I hope everything go well!

EDIT: 6,2 million people watching live. Amazing!

 

[mattythedog]

Website is freezing up for me. Really annoying.

 

[cally-dave]

Bbc news are covering it live, they said we should be able to see the freefall from felix's perspective

 

[priesty_lfc]

Mine is fine, crazy that he's actually doing it tho.

I'm nervous just watching!
