I think he’ll do fine. Reliability of the critical systems is very very high.

What kind of a craft is videoing the balloon? Or is it being done from the ground?

I heard them say a few minutes ago that it was a camera on the ground. The speaker remarked about how powerful these long lenses were.

“Geronimo” is the accepted term for this event.
I've always wondered why they chose to yell Geronimo rather than "Sitting Bull!"

My first jump I did not sense falling, only that the plane seemed to shoot straight up away from me...I wonder if he can look up...
At that height, the perception of falling may not be there
To: LachlanMinnesota
How freaking high can he get? Getting close to 130K.

From the ground I would guess. The cameras have great clarity at 25mi.
