LIVE YOUTUBE LAUNCH FEED >> [www.redbullstratos.com]

AUSTRIAN TV LIVE FEED >> [tvthek.orf.at]

MAIN INFO SITE >> [www.redbullstratos.com]

Incredible feat about to unfold in the next few hours.

The guy is attempting to break the sound barrier from a freefall jump.

All streamed live.

Terrifying!

It will take approximately 3 hours from launch until he jumps, so the earliest jump will be around 5pm uk time.

Amazing images - especially that one in Dan's first post. It freaks me out a bit just looking at it, since I've got a fear of heights(LOL), but it's pretty mindblowing.

It always amazes me what mortals in affluent societies do to give their empty lives meaning.

Incredible nerves to do that. I got the willies just from when he leapt.

on second watching i conclude he reached those speeds by the sheer weight of his balls alone.

plus rumours are that he used them to recover from the flat spin he went into

So we're concluding that his cojones function as a tuned mass damper? ;)

LMAO!

Amazing video. It actually made me a bit dizzy and anxious watching it, the sensation of falling was so real.

If red bull gives you wings, why was he going down instead of up?
