We will be in touch
And now I see commentator thinks the temperature is in Farenheight.... idiot!!
he's higher on the news than my internet : (
Don't want to listen to Robert Hager anymore thankyouplease
Sudden seems to be climbing quicker. Hope someone's not done a calc wrong and it's not about to shoot away into Space.
I'm on the official youtube feed. Is there another feed where you can here what he's saying onboard?
That balloon has certainly increased in volume since take-off!
Official solution to the faceplate problem. MTFU!
What et to jump so I can just tune in for that?
Seems to be accelerating, I though it was supposed to slow down as he got higher 😯
Pin anyone?
He doesn't seem to be any hurry! I'd be getting out now before I float away forever.
If he gets just a bit higher he can break the marathon record too
Getting tense now!
God, I need a wee!! How many items on checklist????
30 odd
Check cameras- imagine forgetting to turn the buggers on 😯
Signal loss detected !!! Nooo....
Phew, back in time.
don't want to go searching the net in case I lose connection......what was the expected speed he will get to?
speed of sound?
FFS, read faster.
I'm feelings nervous for him... God only knows how he must feel...
690MPH in 40seconds
Also now live on BBC news channel
Christ I get nervous on a plane!
Check cameras- imagine forgetting to turn the buggers on
Can't he just do that GoPro thing of taking your helmet off and peering in to the camera?
Is this thing on? Is it on?
You sometimes forget that something could go wrong here and it's not a film...
gripping viewing
BANG!!!
Is his mother wearing a "little green man" alien ring? 🙂
missus keeps walking in and telling me to get of the internet.....no way, I want to see this guy jump, tea will have towait
Last instruction has to be "Depressurise can of Red Bull, pour down throat."
Gives you wings, apparently. He'll need those.
"Felix, this is serious. Please confirm that Strava has been set" ...
Here we go. Good luck Felix. Godspeed etc..
Oh it gets serious now....
Its amazing cant take my eyes of it (apart from posting here)
squeaky bum time.
🙂 @ Deluded!
Bum clenching time...
I do hope they have fitted the capsule with some kind of nudging device....just in case he gets cold feet.
In the OCD man jumps from the edge of space version.
Item 201. Check you've turned the gas off for a third time
Door's open... . Viel Gluck !
Door open!
Here we go...!
His breathing is getting heavy....
Item 40, do the biggest number of backflips ever!
Ooooh!

breathing hard now
I'm bricking it on his behalf
He seemed reluctant to disconnect the oxygen.
Mind you, if I was about to jump from the edge of space, someone patronisingly saying 'attaboy' would not be helping.
fk me...biggest nutter alive.
Jeez, that spin! Well done that man.
spinning 😯
He's spinning a lot....
But now, back in stable position!
WOW!
😯
Ok, that was/is incredible 🙂
that's better
sweaty hands here
Has a proper spin on then
Fair play sir! Kahuna's as big as that balloon...!
Thats impressive 🙂
Parachute open. Success !
Where do you go from there? Surely that is the absolute pinnacle of his sport?
"I'm going home now"
File that alongside small step / giant leap
Deployed!
Whoooop!
Clucking bell!
Did he pull the parachute before breaking the freefall record?
"I need directions"
You're not wrong! 🙂
deployed at 4.19 - thought record was 4.36 for freefall record.
not [u]that[/u] is reality TV
yeah, I don't think he got the freefall record...
Ein toller Leistung, Felix.
Haha, they can get the bloke to 128,000 ft but can't read a windsock.....
impressive landing
Balls. Of. Steel.
BALLS-OF-STEEL
Excellent. Thank you Felix.
wtf, thought that was the swat team approaching with a pistol when he landed, but it's just a camera 😀
So, just waiting to see if he got to the speed of sound.
Fingers crossed.
That was actually worth two and half hours of my life to watch 🙂
