Wouldn't count on it, but they'll try as hard as they can to get it done today. I don't think they'll take any chances though so it all comes down to whether the wind is willing to comply... lol

I wonder what the max wind speed is for this to be safely executed


From my understanding the helium balloon cannot safely be operated in winds over 2mph...which means, imo, this is never happening in its current form.

edit: Is he always sucking down pure oxygen, or have they started his prep?


Wow that's kinda useless... days with consistent 2mph or less winds are hard to come by O.O

I guess they want to make sure this doesn't go down as the two previous attempts at this feat (both resulted in death of the jumper).

The Discovery Channel is covering the jump between shows. They just said he's going to attempt to break the sound barrier on the way down.

It's just so fucking sick to even think about it

Joe Kittinger jumped from an altitude of 31,200m (102,800ft) setting several records, some of which remain unbroken

Yes he will try to break 4 records

1. First to Reach Supersonic Speed in Freefall.
2. Freefall from Highest Altitude: Expected jump from 120,000 ft.
3. Longest Freefall Time: Expected freefall of 5 minutes, 35 seconds or more
4. Highest Manned Balloon Flight: Expected ascent to 120,000 ft.

Austrian newspapers said they expect 1.6 billion people to watch this event.

This just shows again how hard media tries to get attention by lying and exaggerating.

Tastosis should commentate.

Bring about 20% more viewers and make the entire thing that more memorable. Imagine the guy just about to jump from the balloon..
