23 mile skydive!

[Tattysnuc]

If I was in there they would be dropping bags of my human made ballast as I absolutely **** myself!

Surely this has to be ultimate cure for vertigo!

 

[Richie]

oof, nearly forgot about this

 

[wez130]

2/3rds of the way up

 

[*Rich*]

Yeah i hope the video on the way down is good too....

The outside temperature appears to have gone up?

Yes due to it getting closer to the atmosphere where the ozone molecules trap the heat from the sun.

getting above spy plane hight now, amazing stuff

 

[Fire_fly]

I wondered that but I think they are in the middle of the desert, I'd be interested the see there the ballast lands!

He is over open desert

Edit - That should have linked to his location.

Anyone got any good live streams, tried the ones above, but they are just as bad.

So crap for a 60MB virgin line

 

[Cosimo]

Any news on his heating problem?

 

[Tattysnuc]

Wonder what happens to the capsule after he jumps?

The Mrs goes to me (not when he was anywhere near this height I hasten to add) "What if a bird flys along and pops the ballon?"

Cracks me up that that is the first thing that occurred to her when I explained how thin the balloon is

comes back down via a parachute

Just something quite amazing to consider...that amazingly still view from the outside free from judder and always in the centre of the screen...it's filming an object 15+ miles up and however many miles downrange....amazing optics and tracking!

I thought that too. I imagine its the same cameras they used to track shuttle launches that allowed them to see if anything fell of it miles and miles up.

Keeps buffering as far as I can tell they all using the same YT feed.

Still at least I've reconnected hTPc thing and have it on big tv now.

 

[trigger-happy]

and to think all this for an energy drink

Wonder what happens to the capsule after he jumps?

I just pictured a Wilie Coyote moment where he lands safely, walks away to a rapturous applause, and then this bl@ddy great capsule drops out of the sky onto him....

 

[NightSt@lk3r]

Wonder what happens to the capsule after he jumps?

It comes back down to earth on a parachute like the last 2 jumps he did.

You'll never please everybody, some are just miserable

Whats to be miserable about? this is fascinating! this is the stuff that should be in the guinness book of records, not like this country in how many hot dogs you can eat.

plays for 3 seconds, buffers for 15 secs, plays for 3 seconds, buffers for 15 secs

rinse and repeat

Might just close the video and watch it when the entire video has been uploaded somewhere, pointless watching it like this.
