This is pretty wild. Looks like they might get the jump in this morning.

I cannot imagine freefall from that height. 22,500 was high enough for me.

Hope he survives near mach speeds.

All I want to know is exactly how much beverage is Red Bull actually selling ??? They seem to have their hands in everything that costs big bucks...

Apparentely a lot!

The video stream is now showing the balloon being inflated. It will be a few hours out before any craziness happens.

Boo. Looks like Thursday is the next window of opportunity.

The next scheduled attempt is for Sunday morning.
