how long till he jumps?

WSS

He's got to go up about another 40,000 feet I think

CAFCdamo

He's going to 120,000 and is currently at 88,000. Should be about another half an hour, so nervous for the fella. Really hope this ends well.

johnny73

Another 32,000 feet to go.

red_murph

Thanks for the link J Block.

Fingers crossed for him

WSS

Issue with the heat on the visor apparently. They're working on it. Whoever 'they' are.

Boom

That balloon looks well flimsy

Addickted4life

He's just broken some record. Only 4,000 Ft till he reaches 120,000 FT!!!!!!!!!

He's as gone as high as I cycled yesterday, or he will have when he reaches 120,000 FT.

WSS

He best get on with it or he'll end up floating off into space.

Cafctekkers

gone past 120,000!

red_murph

Fascinating to watch!

kentaddick

anyone find it weird that a company that just sells energy drinks owns and sponsers various sports teams and then has enough left over to sponser this? Crazy

Folev the red

how long from when he drops out the balloon to him touching down????

I've got a dinner to grab Felix mate.
