[QUOTE=TheLolrus;37970055]I've been up all night to make sure I don't miss this. If I fall asleep during my Comm lecture it was totally worth it.[/QUOTE] It's going to take him like 3 hours to get to the projected altitude.
[QUOTE=luck_or_loss;37970063]It's going to take him like 3 hours to get to the projected altitude.[/QUOTE] What are they using to get him up there?
[QUOTE=jordguitar;37970068]What are they using to get him up there?[/QUOTE] A giant ass weather balloon. From OP: [img]http://www.popsci.com/files/imagecache/article_image_large/articles/space-jump-skydive-red-bull-stratos-balloon-statistics.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=luck_or_loss;37970063]It's going to take him like 3 hours to get to the projected altitude.[/QUOTE] Then I'm glad the launch window keeps getting delayed. Means I'll be back before the jump. Gonna be really fucking tired though.
The mission is on weather hold, currently it's scheduled at 2PM GMT, but I won't be surprised if they push it back even further just to be sure nothing goes wrong.
[QUOTE=luck_or_loss;37970069]A giant ass weather balloon.[/QUOTE] And what will they do if it bursts before he gets up there
Wait, what is the scheduled time, the jump or the start of the balloon?
[QUOTE=jordguitar;37970082]And what will they do if it bursts before he gets up there[/QUOTE] Have him jump out early. Then cry. [editline]9th October 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Killuah;37970094]Wait, what is the scheduled time, the jump or the start of the balloon?[/QUOTE] The balloon launch.
I have a live stream in my TV program, good. Start has been scheduled to EARLIEST 15:30 Berlin time.

I wonder how much of a tape delay we have here.
[QUOTE=jordguitar;37970123]I wonder how much of a tape delay we have here.[/QUOTE] I'm just hoping that they don't delay the launch anymore.
[QUOTE=luck_or_loss;37970142]I'm just hoping that they don't delay the launch anymore.[/QUOTE] TAPE DELAY OF 30 MINUTES
They are apparently laying out the balloon [editline]9th October 2012[/editline] They also changed time zones from CDT to MDT
That's a pretty picture of the sky, how come we can't see anything?
[QUOTE=paplayer2011;37971560]That's a pretty picture of the sky, how come we can't see anything?[/QUOTE] because they are obviously hiding the weather balloon capsule

[QUOTE=luck_or_loss;37972658]Was that the latest test jump?[/QUOTE] It was from one of his test jumps iirc, not sure if it was the latest though.
Jump time is estimated at 8.30 GMT by the way lads. I used to go skydiving, so I've got lots of skydiving buddies on Facebook and everybody is raving about this haha, can't wait.
I wonder if media tags work for live streams. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkJ5ItzEq3M&feature=plcp[/media] [editline]9th October 2012[/editline] Cool they do. [editline]9th October 2012[/editline] I really wish they had a closer camera to show what they were doing. [editline]9th October 2012[/editline] Hah and now it's zooming in.
