Daredevil Felix Baumgartner is set to skydive from the edge of space, more than 120,000 feet in the air. He is said to reach speeds of 690 mph and break the sound barrier. Here is the link to watch it live.. currently on weather delay.
People are nuts.

I seriously see something flying around in the clouds in the top right corner. Is there a space ship up there waiting for them?

You're probably seeing the balloons that will take him up. About two minutes till this guy dies. 690mph free fall.

Mission aborted. Too much wind

 

[Dr. Jones]

Mission went pre-choice.

Mission went pre-choice.

Pre-choice is always better than post-choice.

Pre-choice is always better than post-choice.

Can't disagree with that.

Good news that they bailed, now I'll be able to watch it. Didn't even know about it before.

Anybody on here ever been sky diving? Not I. I've been base jumping though.

Once. Not really into it .. doesn't do anything for me.

Same here. Did it from 13,500 feet. Cool but I didn't get some rush.

 

[Duck Rodgers]

I'm not aware of anybody I know that has gone being repeat divers either. That's kind of strange. I think it might be one of those things people just want to say they've done and get a few pictures/a DVD of the experience to show off and cross it off the list for good.

Yep. Did it once when I was in college. Great experience, especially when I felt the chute open.
