Looks like this is a GO. The balloon is flying and they just released the capsule.
And we have lift off
Pod is in the air now.
FUCK YOU POSTERS ABOVE ME LOL.
^ :rofl
FUCK. This dude’s only ascending at 1,043ft/min. He needs to get to what, 120,000 feet before jumping? I think I may go about my business for the next couple hours.
They just said it will be about 2 hours for the ascent.
As I was typing that up, I heard. But I decided to inform others who may not have heard.
Hit the 90,000 ft mark… almost time. The view is crazy up there.
This is so crazy. I’m getting an adrenaline rush just watching.
104,000 feet hes going to 120,000 right?
Previous height record (set in 1960) now ‘broken’. He hasn’t technically jumped yet, but he doesn’t exactly have much of a choice… lol. Guy has balls of titanium…
just broke the record for highest maned balloon flight over 113,740 feet:pop
127,000 feet and gaining sounds like the times getting close doing systems check now (for anyone who cant watch it and is folowing it on here)
i cant wait!!!
:ahh THE PRESSURE
here we go:excited
aaaaaand, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
aw man he didnt break the record for longest free fall
Holy shit. I’m so scared of heights my legs got that uneasy feeling as he stood on the edge. Dude is fucking hoss
All this and he didn’t break the record? What the FUCK. Is he going to atleast break 690mph like originally projected?
