Red Bull Stratos

johnny73

currently at 127,000ft and going through checklist. This is nerve wracking.

A few minutes (I think) based on him travelling at around 750/800 mph?

And as for Red Bull sponsoring all this, this is why a red bull costs £1 more than a home brand drink..

Incredible.. that bit where he was spinning... scary

Don't know if it's already been said, but I reckon it's a straight red for a dive like that. Disgraceful.

When he jumped I involuntarily shouted "Jesus!". Completely amazing.

Where can you watch it again?

One of the most amazing things I've ever watched live. When he was tumbling through the air I thought he was done for.

Amazing camera footage from start to finish.

Top stuff, top man.

So it turns out Redbull really does give you wings.

That was amazing to watch.

Bit of a gamble by red bull sponsoring this. Would have been a long running advertising campaign down the drain if he hadn't made it.

Lots of planning has made it all worth it.

Well done to those involved.
