That's pretty cool, but interestingly enough no one will really know about it unless he dies.

In a worst case scenario his blood could boil and his brain blow up. Or that's at least what I've heard. Did it get postponed?

Response to Red Bull Stratos 2012-10-09 09:08:02

He's getting ready for launch now! 47 minutes left, apparently.

Don't you mean the test jump?

Response to Red Bull Stratos 2012-10-09 12:35:18


I've heard he is attempting to go supersonic. That sounds pretty cool.

How likely is it Felix will survive?

I think it's likely that he will be sleeping with Hollywood this month.

Wait, he still hasn't jumped yet?

if that was a serious question, the balloon could be flipped upside down on ascent and he could die before he even got to space.

I'd rather die than face the shame of not delivering

so, what you're saying is the mission won't be re-scheduled and red bull is just tossing it aside.

This very much all of this. There not going to do it until it is not windy out. I mean, they don't want this guy blown over the ocean when he lands, that would be very very bad.
