Meanwhile on the Discovery Channel they are showing Mythbusters while waiting to clear the weather hold, periodically they give a status update but the event should be broadcasted on that channel from what they say.

Here’s hoping those big brass balls don’t cause any problems on the way down.

The standing high altitude jump record was set in 1962 from 100,000 ft, IIRC. Of course, that was part of the early NASA manned space program.
Got a really dumb question: have there already been experiments in dropping objects from near space & measuring reentry velocity? Well, of course there were - they had to determine air friction surface temperatures to calculate how much heat shielding was needed for the space capsules.
In other words, does our high altitude jumper already know for a fact that a supersonic reentry fall prior to contact with lower atmosphere is indeed possible?
Anyway, good luck & Godspeed to him and his venture.

Got it running on my tv, set up as my “second monitor” with the HDMI cable wire from my computer. Highly recommend spending the $12-18 bucks if you’ve got a HDMI-compatible tv, ‘cause you can watch whatever’s broadcast on the net on there and leave your computer free to work.

It looks beautiful. A pearly-white, almost translucent ballon against a washed blue sky.
