Tonight, world record freefall from the edge of space
Sorry naughty won't happen again. Although my gripe was legit, as this is your thread I will gracefully bow out.

The free fall will take around 8 mins.
If his body was exposed without the pressurized space suit his body fluids including his blood would boil, not to mention his eyeballs would pop like a balloon.
It would certainly be a very gruesome death, at least he wouldn't be alive when his body explodes on impact.

Watching 'rude tube' now
Wtf is rude tube? lol Don't make me go look it up, I'm on hiatus...
Also, what is going on with this jump thing & ETA for us now, given the delay? It'll be the middle of the night now won't it? lol
I'm sleepy for once in my life damnit & have another huge day tomorrow, but I really want to see this!
I keep watching this trailor & it makes me feel physically sick. Looks incredible, fantastic feat if he can pull it off but fuck me thats so high....

lol thanks Jaz & yes, good point!
I was watching this in the early hours of this morning, Joe Kittenger did it first in 1960, which I find remarkable, I believe the current guy has since broken Kittengers record in the pre test jumps preparing for this moment we're all waiting to watch, but still, 1960???? Incredible.
I particularly love the moment when he lights a cigarette at the end lol
Joe has helped coach this fellow for his latest jump & will be the only voice the guy hears during his decent to earth.
It is fascinating that its taken 40+ years for mankind to attempt this again. That spacesuit of Joe's back in the 60's must have been very advanced for its time.

disappointed that they had to abort it
besides an astronaut, I think this is the gutsiest attempt a human has ever made, hard to believe that he's 43 years of age.
The main reason Joe Kittenger's record has lasted this long is funding, his record back in 1960 was managed and funded by the US Airforce so money wasn't a problem.
His record breaking attempt wasn't without incidence though...

Jesus! Well his right hand must have bounced back quickly, because he lights a smoke with it once back on earth lol
You're probably right about the funding, so thanks to Red Bull we get to see this again? lol God bless sponsorship
Naughty? You still on holidays? Did you fall asleep last night anyway? You made me stay up to try & catch a glimpse of history, so I blame you for making me put my car keys in the fridge this morning lol

Hopefully they'll have another crack at it today, weather permitting
