Just dropped some ballast to ascend faster.

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? Of course he does. Joe Kittinger, current record holder, is on his mission control team!

Dropped another 60lbs ballast to try and speed assent through jet stream region. Worried about drifting too far to the East.

Uh Oh! No heat in the face mask!
To: Future Snake Eater
Felix reporting that his suit heat doesn’t seem to be working. Has the red LED on but he sometimes gets fogging up on his visor.
CapCom has stopped speaking to him for the moment...
PROBLEM?

All this tells me is that Red Bull is way overpriced 3X the price of regular soft drinks (which are already hugely profitable) with the same ingredient cost, LOL.

“Here’s hoping those big brass balls don’t cause any problems on the way down.”
That’s what they’re using as the ballast.

They cut away from the capcom communication. And I heard no mention by the commentator at all about the visor heater.

Thank you very much. Watching of TV is preferable to watching a web stream for me.
To: al baby
It’s a great business model.
They spend incredible amounts on advertising.
