Big space jump set for today

Fearless Felix is going to try again today.
Coverage is on the Discovery Channel starting at 8:00 AM central time.
This promises to be good!

Over 30,000 ft up and still going. All appears to be going as planned.

Over 100, 000 ft now.

He's about to jump!

He's down safe. Got the altitude but not free fall time.

Note: They're still having to confirm whether he broke mach. I'd bet he just barely did.
Did any one notice the flat spin he got in to?

He was confirmed to break Mach 1 (1.24). I noticed the spin as well.. got worried.

Pretty awesome. I watched the live stream of it earlier. It looks like red bull isn't going to release any more of the onboard footage though. They keep taking down this video whenever it gets posted to youtube.

That would be one big head rush doing that jump.....very gutsy.

Congratulations to him.
