I decided to randomly check this thing an hour before it starts
Yay me and my perfect timing
Some people have been waiting a week and I stroll up right before it begins

THEY ARE DOING THINGS!
Countdowns started.
T-1:30:00.
Waiting for the wind to die down; Felix has entered the capsule, began prebreathing. 1 hour window begins at 11AM EDT or 8AM Specific time :v:
8AM Specific time.
Damn it ninja!
Oh my god I would pay all the moneys to be in that mission control room
and now its boring again

EVERYONE GO HOME
They should make him land in a supermodel pool party
He raises his head out of the water covered in babes then advertises redbull right there and then
Best ad all years
Balloon inflation has begun
They've pulled the rigs away from the capsule, maybe they've finished up with the last minute checks and they're just waiting for the wind to die down now.
If he doesn't do this when he jumps out I will be disappointed:

They moved the lift thing out of the way hopefully this is good news.
People on the stream look pretty happy, high fiving and shit.
Possible lift off time?

I was like, "Oh shit I hope I didn't miss it" because the last time I checked it was like 24 hours or something, but I had completely forgot about it. Just clicked on it a second ago and it was 29 minutes left... Yeah, my timing is more perfect! YAY ME!
Just kidding, but seriously, I was very excited to see that I came in at the half hour mark!
Shit man I'm sitting in work and I'm meant to be leaving in 10 minutes but this is happening and I've got shit to do here.
Fuckshitfuckshitfuckshitfuckshit.
