Red Bull Stratos !!!!

[CAM]

I wish they would have talked to him afterwards, just for a cool perspective. It kind of just ended. From Red Bull's point if view, it would have been perfect timing for a "Welcome to My World, the World of Red Bull" bit.

I heard him saying something about a technical problem with a rope from his parachute.

I'm not sure I heard correctly. Maybe that is why he opened his parachute earlier than planned.

They are making a 2h documentary of it to be broadcast in about four weeks on the BBC and to be broadcast in the US too.

Wow, just WOW!
I literally pooped my pants as he started spinning and thought he was dead.

Simply amazing to witness a piece of history right here!

Online?

I liked how he said he was going home before he jumped, not as cool as Armstrong's moon quote (because you couldn't hear half the crap he was saying before he jumped) but still neat.

Better gif.

That was incredible, I think this is as close as I'll ever get to the experience of watching the moon landing in my lifetime.

I feel optimistic today and say that we'll probably see a manned mission to Mars in our lifetimes. (~ 20 years) 👍

That's actually not science fiction anymore, and I do believe that too.
At least I hope.

Space is the last mystery and just fascinates me everytime anything happens there and near it. 👍

Live feed is back up!

And now it is gone again.

I'm reminded of this for some reason...

YOU FELL, YOU LIVED!

Wow, just, wow. What do you say to that!

BBC news aren't showing the press conference so can someone comment, what did he feel going through Mach 1?

That was awesome! [/uselesspost]

He didn't feel anything breaking through the sound barrier. He needs to look at the data to find out the exact moment.

Congratulations Felix - and Thank You for the 'God's Eye' view; it humbles us to know how small we are - not just as humans, but as a Planet in Space, while yet striving to stretch our humanity to the highest and furthest degree into the vast Universe.

Humbled, yet Proud. WTG Felix, you're some cat. Good feet. 👍

Serious? that's more shocking than the fact he made it alive. I was expecting some real big forces on his body.

 

[Dennisch]

Aaw. We lost the satellite connection uploading the signal to the web.


The entire video of the ascent and jump is back up.

Clickie!

Aaaaaaaand it's gone!
