And I believe that picture from the test jump is "only" 100,000 ft.

Do you think he'll be keeping an eye out for random Moose?

TwsT · 9 Oct 2012 at 16:12

excellent I was beginning to worry that it would happen on my way home from work

Nice, balloon layout has begun so imagine we are not long off from when he starts his ascent.

Godspeed Felix, get back to earth safe and sound and hopefully in one piece.

That's not even the full height.. that was from an earlier test jump.

Are you sure that is not just a picture from the animation they made to show what it will be like??

In his trailer putting on his pressurised suit.

What's the time taken to get up to 120,000 ft?

Just under 3 hours.

120,000 feet o.O

That's incredible....

Out of interest, what are his chances of survival? Or not?

Best song to listen to pre-jump? I vote Mogwait - Music for a forgotten future, starting 12:10 http://youtu.be/eoVRxNmcDSo?t=12m10s

Cosimo · 9 Oct 2012 at 16:31

Felix is now in his trailer getting his pressurized suit put on

Gary* · 9 Oct 2012 at 16:31
