Been listening off and on as I work.
Did they figure out the issue with his visor heat? Surely he ain't gonna jump if has a visor that's gonna frost up.

I don't think he has much choice now. The balloon will pop eventually.

I believe he can ride down with the capsule if needs be. But that's probably just as dangerous.

Ahhh, cc. Let's hope he decides to go for it, watching a balloon climb is akin to watching the grass grow. :lol
Better be a pay-off at the end.

ABC has a live feed up on satellite uplink. Been watching it over cable since there are no commercal breaks. On one of their other feeds, they have the Endeavor shuttle being moved down a street in CA towards its new permanent home.

This is better than any suspense/thriller movie I've ever watched. :x

He just spotted three Rook ponies 10k above him......

Door is open! 128,000ft :O

Amazing. :aok

Awesome. They keep saying to talk. What could you say falling 600 mph that could be rebroadcast? Missed the longest freefall though, odd.

I thought so too... was neat how quick he recovered from the initial uncontrollable 700+ mph free fall though.

Touch Down !!!
Woot!

All I understood was
"My visor is fogging up like h***!"
Perhaps he pulled a little early because of that.
-
That was awesome... One of the coolest things I've seen in years.

I'm surprised he did. I thought his balls of steel would've gotten in the way.

It was a great show. I hope they can get official word on the mach issue quickly. Shame he didn't get Kittinger's free fall record but he blew the heck out of the alt record.
-
Press conference on now.
Mach 1.24
-
Amazing how a plane broke mach decades ago. And now a human! :salute
Human achievment is amazing. :rock
-
I can see how the freefall record wasn't broken. I mean he did go over 800mph according to the reports this evening after they rechecked all the data.
