Actually got kind of scared when he started spinning, imagine him breaking his neck when over 7 million people are watching him live, what a tragedy. Also he missed the jump height he wanted to go and got about 2.5 kilometers higher.
Live press conference just started.
Tell me how you managed to carry your massive steel balls out the door Felix.

Highest vertical velocity 1342.8 km an hour...holy shit!
MACH 1.24!
why is the audio only coming out of the right part of my headset
annoying as shit
And YouTube ends the stream just as he goes to ask the question...
I had to sleep during this for fuck sake.....
Oh god. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKed9ZTxzmY[/media]
This event was incredible to watch live. I got chills when he saluted and said "I'm going home now" and stepped off :)
Is there somewhere I can watch this? I missed the livesteaming and I haven't been able to find anything.

After considerable thought... the Redbull team should have strapped a shitload of Jager to Felix, and had him land in a giant pool of Redbull, thus breaking the world record for most outrageous Jagerbomb in history.
I'm surprised he hit the speed he did while spinning. I suppose you can't really stabilize yourself in a free fall at that altitude, though. A U-2 can barely maintain stability at 70,000 feet, so Eh
Why is it down?
It's already done bro. Here's the mission highlights if you missed it completely.

[QUOTE=Rex McCoolguy;38036017]Hah, watched this in a /v/ livestream.
We played sonic boom when he jumped and various vidya songs.[/QUOTE]
