CaptainJoe Posted October 14, 2012 #1 Posted October 14, 2012 Look like they are going to attempt it again at 8:45 MT. http://www.redbullstratos.com/
Guest scarylarry Posted October 14, 2012 #2 Posted October 14, 2012 I have followed this for the last few days.. 1 they really can't tell where he will land they hope Az or N.M. I think he will burst into flames and be dead on impact, OR he will do like evil did when jumping snake river and release the parachute to soon... What is it 23 miles free fall...
rickardracing Posted October 14, 2012 #3 Posted October 14, 2012 I do not know how the human body can withstand 0-690mph in 35 seconds. I HOPE he makes it. He will break alot of records, but I think...and I hope I am wrong.....he won't survive. Good luck Felix!!
CaptainJoe Posted October 14, 2012 Author #4 Posted October 14, 2012 he's getting ready to jump! It's on CNN right now. Good Luck FELIX!
CaptainJoe Posted October 14, 2012 Author #5 Posted October 14, 2012 looks like he exceeded 729 mph... Wooooooo Hoo! And hes still alive! CNN will show jump in entireity... I watched on internet and it was awesom. Really stARTED GETTING WHEN HE WAS SPINNING/TUMBLING... thank God hes ok!

Keemez Posted October 14, 2012 #8 Posted October 14, 2012 I do not know how the human body can withstand 0-690mph in 35 seconds. I HOPE he makes it. He will break alot of records, but I think...and I hope I am wrong.....he won't survive. Good luck Felix!! After this jump he should be capable of riding a 1st gen, eh?

Guest tx2sturgis Posted October 15, 2012 #15 Posted October 15, 2012 I have followed this for the last few days.. I think he will burst into flames and be dead on impact, OR he will do like evil did when jumping snake river and release the parachute to soon... Sure glad none of THAT happened!
N3FOL Posted October 15, 2012 #16 Posted October 15, 2012 After hearing all the highlights, glad to hear that everything went well on his jump. Awesome scene. Great coverage.
BigLenny Posted October 15, 2012 #17 Posted October 15, 2012 That Dude is one crazy mofo! But, it's guys like him that makes life fun to watch.
N3FOL Posted October 15, 2012 #18 Posted October 15, 2012 Was the Guiness World Record ever mentioned for this jump? Felix's jump may qualify.
Guest tx2sturgis Posted October 15, 2012 #19 Posted October 15, 2012 Was the Guiness World Record ever mentioned for this jump? Felix's jump may qualify. Actually the guiness book people want to talk to his cat: http://i.imgur.com/E00nl.gif
Snaggletooth Posted October 15, 2012 #20 Posted October 15, 2012 Actually the guiness book people want to talk to his cat: http://i.imgur.com/E00nl.gif Too funny But did it land on its feet how deep was the hole?
Guest scarylarry Posted October 16, 2012 #21 Posted October 16, 2012 Sure glad none of THAT happened! Me too... Didn't get a chance to see it and I was going to watch the reply again last night fell asleep on the couch and woke to up to something about the masonic lodge secrets... Maybe tonight if they replay it, and if I fall asleep again maybe something will be on better this time...
eusa1 Posted October 16, 2012 #22 Posted October 16, 2012 they say he had taken some seafoam with him just in case there was any problems!
Guest tx2sturgis Posted October 16, 2012 #23 Posted October 16, 2012 they say he had taken some seafoam with him just in case there was any problems! Yes. But luckily, the Seafoam can looks WAAAY different from the RedBull can.
silent67 Posted October 16, 2012 #24 Posted October 16, 2012 I still say ole Joe had more guts when he jumped from 19 miles up!
Guest scarylarry Posted October 16, 2012 #25 Posted October 16, 2012 Why is that? Though don't matter cause I ain't jumping from any of it...:rotf:
