So isn't it possible that he lands way off course?

I think he's carrying a .45 in the event of landing behind enemy lines.

That looked like Roswell's airport.

Where did they launch from?

I wonder what the live pic delay is.
The guy in the studio with the Cut button better be pounding a 6 pack of red bull right now.

On a side note: Is it too late to tie a 'Fire Pioli' banner on this guy?

Missed opportunity. DAMNIT!

I was wondering the same thing. I don't know how they control that. When he was up in the jet stream his lateral speed was like 80 mph. While it was much less before and after, it was still like 15 mph and he'll have drifted for almost two hours by the time he jumps...

Cool, I have flown over that airport about 25 times on my way to Santa Teresa. They have a bunch of old airplanes parked all over the place.

There is an abandoned airport about 4 miles south of there, too.

They just said he's 50 miles east of Roswell now. Sounds like he's just gonna land in the desert.

I like how they have that tread tape on the platform outside the capsule. Wouldn't want him to slip and, you know, fall off.

Don't want him to go into an uncontrollable death spin.

RINGLEADER 10-14-2012 11:29 AM

He's over Texas now...

"free fall from the edge of space"

Sounds a lot like the 2012 Chiefs.

Buck 10-14-2012 11:41 AM

He's above 120,000 ft. Should be jumping any min.

That link doesn't appear to be working
