Yes there are other threads but they are all older and cluttered. And they lack the live embed in the OP.

Its a go. Sunrise tomorrow morning! Just got an email from a friend that is working on the project in Roswell. She says the weather looks good (better than before), so they will be starting to gear things up at 10pm tonight for a sunrise launch!

did anybody just hear that update? I guess its still too windy at 700 feet so they need to wait for that to calm down. Approximated time of launch is 10 MDT

Another hour to wait. I don't know how many times this thing has been delayed already, but I guess it was necessary.

does anyone know what the capsule is doing after he jumps? i would assume it would just fall down but i didnt know since the wind drag could displace it a ton.

When the balloon stops rising, that can be somewhere between 120.000 and 130.000 feet.

So stoked that its finally happening. Glad that the whole project didnt get tied up at the lawsuits stage that were associated with it a few years ago. Been following this since day 1!! So stoked!

He needs rocket boosters so he can get up to altitude so he can jump faster.

Lol. I think the jump will be happening just after 12:30 central time, pending everything goes well. PATIENCE GRASSHOPPER! It will be worth the wait.
