[QUOTE=LarparNar;37968803]Alright, I understand then.
What I was commenting on was that you said you'd be falling [B]into[/B] whatever you were orbiting.[/QUOTE]
It's just a case of wording, I think; falling into something and falling towards something are equally true, but falling into can be a bit more misleading perhaps. I've heard both used in physics discussions and lessons though, if I recall correctly. For clarification, orbiting something at a constant altitude = falling towards it.

I'd say it's falling around it, because you don't get closer, and to me "towards" implies getting closer to it.
And to me "into" also implies actually hitting it or being sucked into it.
But I suppose that's more of a matter of how you define the words. :)
At least post the live stream:

Thanks man. Its 20 mins and im on ipad. I thought i wouldn't be able to watch it live.
Fuck, I think they just put out another weather hold
It doesn't look like it.

It still says 14:30 on the live stream, although I wouldn't be surprised if they put it even further behind.
Delayed, no sooner than 17:30 GMT now.
Damnit, that puts it at 3:30am here...

Yep, us Australians have it rough. I'm off to bed
12:30 pm here. I may be able to see it if it isn't delayed any further.
[QUOTE=l l;37966282]It actually does have an edge, it's expanding.[/QUOTE]
No, the space between galaxies itself is expanding. There isn't an edge somewhere out there that's getting farther away.
Great, now they will be doing it when I'm gone to UNH.

It's gonna be right as I am starting my English Lit Midterm :c somebody please record the stream, so we can have an uncut version as well as the cut-for-youtube edition.
I cannot wait to see him jump! I wonder if the camera will be in the helmet with him so we can see him plummet!

The pressure suit has got two cameras mounted above the knees. Even better, HD quality.

HELL YES! I cannot wait
If the live stream is from those cameras that'd be pretty ballin. But I'm assuming they're from the cameras on the ground they have.
Pretty cool shot from the redbull stratos twitter page

I think he has a camera on his helmet, tho it will not be shown when he's going down. In case the mission fails, and he dies. At least what I got to know.

I think there's a 30 second delay built into the stream anyways, in case anything goes wrong.
So we might get to see it anyways, I dunno.
What's the T-Minus?
aaah... if only the live streaming would stop buffering every 15 seconds.
5min countdown just started. :D
Less than five minutes
T-minus 10 seconds until we're live.

I wonder if Red Bull ordered their employees to bring in their laptops so their mission control room could look more impressive.
