India-KXIP fan Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Jump might finally happen, after so much delay. fuuuuu this is exciting. Gonna be a record if he does it! http://www.redbullstratos.com/ Youtube Stream: At this time it says 1 hour to go till launch. They're pumping balloon, takes about 2 hours to get up there. Could get the jump 3 hours from now possibly unless there is another delay/cancelled for today.
India-KXIP fan Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 Balloon about to launch, will be very exciting.... watching a balloon fly up for 2 hours Jump will be good at least 1st minute of it. Launched :yay:
India-KXIP fan Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 Sree will break the record. :hatsoff: Sreesanth? lolwat Anyways this guys gonna take 2 hours to get up : ( , at 25,000 feet atm.
India-KXIP fan Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 Can go up til 130,000 as well depending where balloon stops. Hope he doesn't go unconscious and is fine when it goes supersonic. He has an auto activating chute in case something goes wrong.

Mariyam Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Here's the youtube link What's all the fuss about? Isn't this just a glorified parachute jump/bungee drop? BTW, any of you guys noticed that as the altitude of the capsule has increased, the Earth below seems to be rotating faster.
EnterTheVoid Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Solo skydiving is a question of money more than anything else. Since Clarke has a couple of thousand dollars hidden underneath his mattress, I am sure he will pay for the lessons I need to do a solo jump. Aint that right?
1983-2011 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 How come they are showing the blue sky but then when they only show the baloon or capsule part, the sky is black???

Given the abundance of science/tech/math/other such rational pests here, I thought that might be a very dumb question to ask. Thought one of them science boys would state mater of factly "Oh you don't even know that?? Its due Fabrioski superaltrenuation of the schmelzerberg spectrum in the outer atmosphere"
