Watching it live too. A page of history is being written today!
I like the fact that Joe Kittinger is helping Baumgartner to break his own record.
This was pretty darned neat. Interesting that ME has an avatar of the world speed record for motorcycles being set (Bonneville salt flats in the 1950s).
i'm gunna come back in 20mins to see him jump, this is pretty boring atm
Watching it live too. My god jumping from 120k ft is crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
It's probably going to be another hour before he gets to 120k ft.
5k feet to go.
Did he break the sound barrier?
mach 1.24... wow.
Safely landed! The freefall was fucking insane! I think his world record will be unreachable for a long long time!
That was awesome. Some sources are saying it's confirmed that he broke the sound barrier. Not the longet freefall ever, but if you are going for speed why would you want a longer fall anyway?
i watched this live, it was pretty awesome. I imagine thats what my parents experienced watching the apollo missions
nice marketing stunt for redbull..
then again... i get goosbumps on the 2nd floor in the mall, so who am i to judge...
haha
where can i watch the video? I totally missed it live.
Unfucking real. When he said 'I'm going home' I choked up.
5 years of training, 4 minutes and 20 seconds of falling.. That was sick man!
@happypants: haha yeah, felt the same!

Guy hit 833.9 MPH. Apparently this was a NASA endorsed mission because there's a bunch of data they will collect on it and how it affects humans.
i don't understand why they didn't slap a GoPro on him so we can get a first person view...
True, would have liked to see the first person view when he was out of control in the beginning. The camera view when he actually stepped off the capsule was amazing though. Gave me a big rush!
