Quote- "Felix will ascend to a record 120,000ft in the air in a balloon, to then freefall out, rushing towards the earth at nearly 700mph. That's right, he'll travel at supersonic speeds." :o

I heard this on the radio earlier. Crazy :o

...the balloon hoisting him up is filled with helium to create lift...has a capacity of 30 million cubic feet...and at launch, will stand 55 stories tall.

Postponed - because the wind was over 2mph which would have affected the integrity of the balloon. And he's going to let something so fragile haul him 120,000 feet in the air ? Certifiable !
 
If he jumps the wrong way he'll end up in space. Might meet some potential Area 51 visitors :P
 
It will be interesting to hear how he dies. The U.S. Air Force did this from 31 Kilometers up back in the 50's-60's to test high speed/altitude ejection seat/space capsule parachutes. It worked, so they stop jumping.
 
The chaps got balls

I fully expect to hear that he has turned inside out via his own arsehole.
