http://www.redbullstratos.com/live/

Looks like they're going to try today! :thumbsup

I have a window open with that live feed... same last time... pushed back... pushed back... pushed back... cancelled ><

The real question is, will he die when they finally get to it?

Lol it happens! inflating the balloon now

That is so cool. :)

And crazy. :upsidedow

hm so it takes 2+ hours to get the balloon up, or what's the timeline on the whole thing? :)

Fuck me i need a 3rd screen fuck around on one watch walking dead on the other and how the fuck am i meant to watch the redbull balloon

Winds are down to 5-6mph and diminishing. Looks like it's a go.

Live Youtube feed:

the guy has serious balls - i wont even step on a ladder thats higher than 2 meters

Up...up and away!

Awesome aerial shots.

Hell yeah it's off!!!

hellz yeahz

17,500 ft and counting.. at what level does he jump from?

Looking good so far
Who is that knob talking fuck me he is annoying

nevermind

120,000 ft.

They're saying 2 hours till final altitude. 15 minutes into it now.

Got the live feed going as well, might be late here in Oz but I'm watching this:)

Fuck im in wa and was thinking it was going to be a late one

"Balloon will get as fat as a lima bean!" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

-92 °F now :uhoh

+1 :thumbsup

Testicles just crawled up inside...

3.1 million viewers on youtube now.

Only 49,000 feet to go. Breaking the sound barrier while freefalling sounds pretty amazing.

Where do you see that? -72f now

Ah cool! I almost forgot about this. Watching..

:)

god damn, its gonna be like another hour before they get up to taht 36500 meters :(

It hit the -90s for a bit...but warming back to the -70s now.

I was just noticing that it seems to be getting warmer the higher he goes. Would not have thought that would happen

Just hit 85,000 ft and has some trouble with his faceplate heater. Still acending.

Wonder if it was a 6-pack of Redbull they dumped as ballast...

:stoned

ADG

I'm scared of heights myself.... I was proud of myself when yesterday I went down a zip line, but man, this fucker has more balls than all of us put together.

he's over 102 000 feet now.

damn, thanks for the heads up, i would have missed it if not for GFY :thumbsup

omg i'm going to vomit

This is so fucking cool. 104,000 feet and climbing. My hands are sweating! Did you see the step? He has to climb out of his capsule, and stand on this step which has room for 1 foot only it looks like, look around, and then step off off. Holy shit.

Needs to stuff a few of these into his faceplate.
