Red Bull Stratos - freefall from the edge of space
Live stream.
Looks like its going to be launched at 1130 est. Red Bull Stratos is a mission to the edge of space that will try to surpass human limits that have existed for more than 50 years. Supported by a team of experts, Felix Baumgartner will undertake a stratospheric balloon flight to more than 120,000 feet / 36,576 meters and make a record-breaking freefall jump in the attempt to become the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall (an estimated 690 miles / 1,110 kilometers per hour), while delivering valuable data for medical and scientific advancement. |

the capsule has been riding steady at 127K feet for a while now, they just have to be absolutely sure his suit is working properly before the cabin depressurizes or he could die almost instantly
