Red Bull Stratos !!!!

[Dennisch]

he must have been relieved when he heard it was aborted though wouldn't want to be in his shoes

??

I would totally want to be in his shoes. They don't have to tell me twice to jump.

Leave it to Wind to stand in the way of human progress. We needed you to discover new worlds, and are thankful for it. But those days are over, and this is how you treat us? Where is Captain Planet when we need him?

 

[Michael88]

That was the only gust of wind in 10 hours straight and they aborted the mission in a split second. They didn't even wait a minute before giving the mission the finger.

🤬

 

[CodeRedR51]

It looked like after they aborted the wind calmed down too.

Apparently Thursday is the closest next available date that the launch should be able to go ahead.

 

[Dennisch]

I said it before. He will make his jump December 21st.

 

[GranTurismo916]

I said it before. He will make his jump December 21st.

That's exactly what I was thinking.... He'll be Nibiru.

From the Redbull Stratos Facebook-page:
“Meteorologist Don Day has confirmed that a Thursday launch will not be possible. The next weather window opens on Sunday October 14th at 6:30 AM MDT.”

Jumping from Kilo meters and breaking the sound barrier while falling to the earth might sound cool but with all the things that can go wrong I'd rather let him jump

I'm with you, on that. - Danish TV, spoke with a guy, who actually was jealous on Felix... He might be crazy, but I guess - it'll give some of a rush.

That's exactly what I was thinking.... He'll be Nibiru.

Or maybe he's waiting to hitch a ride on Neptune.

 

[Brando-K]

It appears to be going ahead shortly. Only 2 hours and 37 minutes to go.
Youtube live stream of the event.

 

[cally-dave]

Hopefully today will be the day when Felix breaks 4 world records!

Godspeed Mr. Baumgartner!

 

[Dean]

That's some exciting news, there!

 

[kikie]

He will be abducted by a UFO and never be heard of again.

 

[Brando-K]

It appears to be delayed again. Currently 1 hour 38 minutes left until the stream is live.

 

[FahrerGott]

Delayed again 2h til earleest possible launch.

 

[cally-dave]
