Guest Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 You all remember the Dayvan Cowboy video with the Kittinger jump from the stratosphere (31km free fall). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kittinger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDvwktPGUbM Today Felix Baumgartner will do a 36km jump. In Germany it's even live on TV (n-tv, 15:00 german time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Well yeah they cancelled... Well for some moments there was wind... but now for a longer time absolutely no wind. They were über sensitive? Anyway, waiting for the next try (tomorrow? in a year?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Mission has been cancelled - ohhhh well, there was a bit of wind... They are very cautious. Seems like they can only start in very rare cases, meteorologically. But hey. We know the secret plan. New try will be when the next BoC album will be released.

The ballon was touching ground for a few seconds due to the winds. If this caused small holes in the surface they would grow to big leaks of several meters in diameter or more when the ballon has grown to full size once it reaches the stratosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaosmachine Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 the real question is if he's planning to land on a surf board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 the real question is if he's planning to land on a surf board. Or in a halftime show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I like how the commentator can't pronounce "Baumgartner". Sounds like he says "Bum Gutter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
