Hey guys, they are a go with the jump from the edge of space. I guess its sponserd by Red Bull. Lets hope it gives him wings. He is shooting to jump from 120,000'. And in turn wants to break the sound barrier. Lets hope he is okay. No one has jumped from the height since 1961 I think. It sounds like a hoot to do though. Wish I were there.

Can't hear it. Only visual from my seat here. Yeah I hope he makes it. I have been blown down by the Air Force breaking the speed of sound. Its violent. They don't know what its going to do to his body if he breaks it.

On no, I need to take a crap and I am at 78000 feet!


He needs to kick in the booster rockets to get him on up to 120000 feet.
