Currently held up due to high winds, here is a link to live coverage. It needs javascript to load - it didnt work on my laptop but fine on my PC.

There is a 20 second delay, so if Mr Bumgardner goes splat we don't have to see it.

Hold on, if I understand right the guy's jumping out of his balloon 23 miles up and hoping to go super-sonic. Tell me why high winds are a problem? |

Something called jet streams could pose a problem i suppose. Winds that reside at an altitude of 11 km above sea level, and on his way down Mr Bumgardner will have to pass that altitude. And seeing as these can reach wind speeds of up to 400 km/h it is unlikely that it will be a good place for him to be. However i am not sure that this is the explanation for the delay, but it one possibility.

Red Bull Stratos - Weather plays a vital role
If it's binned today, they wont have another go until Thursday. Mr Bumgardner hopes to be the first person to break the sound barrier without the aid of a vehicle.
ETA I have enough trouble with the wind launching a Chinese lantern, so I can see why they're cautious with a 550 ft tall balloon. Pastor Frank will tell you what that is in metric, he also converts to GMT, and points out when they say 17.30 GMT, that's half 6 in real UK money. |

Looks like it's back on, and they are laying out and filling up the balloon. He should begin his ascent in about an hour or so. |

If his suit leaks, his blood will boil and his eyeballs will burst, so more like Splat! Wheeee!
ETA: they just tried to launch, and a gust of wind flattened the balloon straight away. Attempt abandoned for today. |

Terminal velocity will change with air density; at high altitudes the air is extremely thin but gravity still gives him the same weight. So he can fall faster (adopting a "clean" position to fall would also help by reducing drag further). Like diving into water instead of treacle.*
Also, because of the reduced temperature the speed of sound will actually be less than at sea level. His window of opportunity would seem to be between 36km and 20km, where the air density starts to get really high. The speed of sound actually drops between 36km and 20km, then rises after 11km. At 20km up it is around 220m/s as opposed to 330m/s at sea level - 512 mph vs 768 mph in old money.
Worth noting that in higher pressure environments lower to the ground, supersonic airflows are extremely dangerous. The Russian air force experienced a number of fatalities during otherwise perfect mid air ejections and traced it to the impact of air at 800-1000mph as the seat left the cockpit. after a while they developed a sort of ladle-shaped thing that popped up between the pilot's knees and provided a windbreak which diverted the air around him during ejection. Interesting stuff, aerodynamics.

At 80,000 feet at the moment, he will jump at 120,000.
Very good live feed, you can really see the curvature of the Earth. Its scary enough to think of going that high at all, without jumping out! |

Yeah the commentator confused me as I first logged on, its bizarre, its really boring to watch at present, but very compelling at the same time.
Chrome is coping much better with the feed than Firefox, which is odd.... |

^^^I was worried about that, too! I thought he was tumbling out of control.
Looks like he broke sound barrier, broke record for highest jump, but may not have broken longest free-falling record. |

My feed had problems all the way up and.. guess what... it froze just as he stepped out of the capsule, when it resumed he was a rapidly fading white dot. Typical.
Grrrr
The speed counter in the first 40s of his fall was frighteningly fast! I think he topped out at 770mph*!
But hey! He's down and in one piece, so kudos to him for that.
*EDIT: top speed is now confirmed at 729mph. |
