Mm hmm. I was disappointed they had to cancel it yesterday as well.
Hopefully the weather cooperates tomorrow - IMO, this is the best "red bull project" to date.

I have been following this hoping it would get off the ground. This is going to make some incredible video.

Still only halfway to the jump altitude, going to be awesome to see it go down.

beatnic

These camera shots are totally awesome.

marineatbn03

I just can't wait for the jump. What happens to the capsule after he leaves it?

beatnic

They said earlier that it has a parachute and separates from the balloon. They want it back.

marineatbn03

I would imagine they would want it back, that thing has some millions wrapped up in it. I just wasn't sure if it had a release mechanism or not.

beatnic

The red thing, just below the clear balloon is the parachute. So its' already extended away from the capsule.

beatnic

Awesome!

beatnic:

Awesome!

That was pretty cool. I can't imagine doing a 120,000+ freefall, thats just crazy.

jlmarta

Great camera coverage! Including shots inside the capsule all during the ascent, his exit from the capsule, his free fall, all of it. Outstanding!!

Insane....he reached mach 1.24
That was awesome to see, I'd have crapped my pants, standing on that platform, outside of the capsule before jumping....damn.

Hats off to you Felix, and the rest of the Stratos team.
And chest Cam Footage from Felix's perspective

What you couldn't see on the video was Chuck Norris shoving him out when he got scared.
