Hopefully the weather cooperates tomorrow - IMO, this is the best "red bull project" to date. -
Just FYI - they've now postponed the launch until Sundaybeatnic:

I have been following this hoping it would get off the ground. This is going to make some incredible video.

bump
-
Still only halfway to the jump altitude, going to be awesome to see it go down.
-
These camera shots are totally awesome.
-
I just can't wait for the jump. What happens to the capsule after he leaves it?
-
They said earlier that it has a parachute and separates from the balloon. They want it back.
-
I would imagine they would want it back, that thing has some millions wrapped up in it. I just wasn't sure if it had a release mechanism or not.
-
The red thing, just below the clear balloon is the parachute. So its' already extended away from the capsule.
-
Awesome!
-
That was pretty cool. I can't imagine doing a 120,000+ freefall, thats just crazy.beatnic:Awesome! -
Great camera coverage! Including shots inside the capsule all during the ascent, his exit from the capsule, his free fall, all of it. Outstanding!!

Insane....he reached mach 1.24marineatbn03:

That was awesome to see, I'd have crapped my pants, standing on that platform, outside of the capsule before jumping....damn.
Hats off to you Felix, and the rest of the Stratos team.
And chest Cam Footage from Felix's perspective -
What you couldn't see on the video was Chuck Norris shoving him out when he got scared.

here's the proof
