50k ft up. Crikey. I’ve jumped from 12,500ft and that felt a very long way up….. Still, I suppose it’s the last couple of inches that really matter….

🙄

That backdrop on the live feed isn’t the outside view you know….

I hope he doesn’t bottle out at the last minute.. 😕

I’ve been up to 58,500ft in Concorde and i can guarantee its a bloody long way up…

I wouldn’t have fancied jumping and that’s not even half way up for him!!!

Link down?

He prob deserves a few spectators!

I’m pretty sure there’s only one way back down 🙂

Youtube link works.

Is it just me or is the feed streaming utter pish?

There’s continuous coverage on n-tv if you have a sat box.

It’s a bit like watching Apollo missions except it’s in colour. Given the number of high divers I’ve seen end up in a spin or bellyflop from the high board I hope he gets the initial dive right.

elpais link above still ok

Should have had Warner commentating

“LOOK AT THE HEIGHT!”

Redbull

I’m starting to feel a bit thirsty, could anyone recommend me a drink?

Something to perk you up a wee bit?

I want to output this at 1080p, but the stream keeps dropping. I would have thought all the money Redbull evidently has, they could have bought some better servers.

No face heating….

Oh dear.

Something to perk you up a wee bit?

That would be nice too.

No visor heat…. will he have to jumps early, and I note they’ve cut the sound. He complained about visor heat a while ago as well.

The capsule on n-tv is about 300m higher than the one on the Redbull livefeed.

Edit: to remove proof of my lack of observation skills

The capsule on n-tv is about 300m higher than the one on the Redbull livefeed.

No spoilers then 8)

Oxygen %age in the red zone…

Would anyone change places with Felix B. right now? I wouldn’t, for sure!

right, I didn’t really pay much attention in the rare times that I attended school, so could someone answer a question for me..

Is there even the slightest chance that instead of falling back to Earth, he’ll like, be too far out to be effected by enough gravity, and like, maybe he’ll go into orbit or something..? 😕

He will come down quicker than the share price of Glasgow Rangers.

Anyone know if this can be watched on the apple tv version of youtube?

…maybe he’ll go into orbit or something..?

Also, known as the TJ Effect.

I was just wondering how far up you have to be before the Earth’s gravity is no longer strong enough to pull him back…

I guess they’ve taken that into consideration!

Yunki, he’s not travelling fast enough, or going high enough to achieve orbit.

Feed keeps crashing…

i realised that wasnt a live feed after id posted 😳

Some folk will do anything to avoid watching the X factor with the wife.

@glupton1976

The stream is on Redbull’s YouTube Channel, so should be reachable.

Don’t be a nob. Let’s try and keep petty bickering, for once, out of STW thread.

is n-TV on sky? I can’t find it so I’m guessing not

Don’t be a nob.

Glupton1976 will appreciate the humour.

davidjones – I am watching it without any problems on my mac, just wondering if it’s worth the hassle of telling the kids that their movie is going off….

The closest point at which you are no longer capable of being captured by Earths gravity would be the Earth-Moon L1 point – That’s over 300,000km away 🙂

While not quite on par with the moon landings, I think you should force the kids to watch a man jumping from 23 miles up.
