    Red bull Startos Mission: TODAY

    Actually in 15 minutes...you can watch it live

    Mission to the edge of space: Red Bull Stratos is a scientific mission to 120,000 ft. Jumping from a stratospheric balloon one man will attempt to break the speed of sound in freefall.


    I hope he makes it

    Break the speed of sound?? I hope the suit he's wearing is going to protect him from the heat/friction of the air when he starts hitting the thicker air
    Ahhh...the power of cheese!

      I think they cancel the jump due to wind conditions

                  Nope he is alive... did he beat the jump time or break the speed of sound?

                  It was fun to watch.

                  I didn't see the news this morning.

                        He hit more than 800 mph, and as a friend of mine noted on Facebook the higher you get, the thinner the air, the lower the threshold is for Mach 1, so he beat it by about 24 percent.

                        That single step into space was pure man.

                        I hope Nasa gives him the Astronaut pin.

                              Now we have had a lot of flooding in this area and there are still a lot of houses that have not been repaired. Must be the apocalypse.
