I have been following this hoping it would get off the ground. This is going to make some incredible video.

Still only halfway to the jump altitude, going to be awesome to see it go down.

These camera shots are totally awesome.

I just can't wait for the jump. What happens to the capsule after he leaves it?

beatnic · October 2012

They said earlier that it has a parachute and separates from the balloon. They want it back.

I would imagine they would want it back, that thing has some millions wrapped up in it. I just wasn't sure if it had a release mechanism or not.

beatnic · October 2012

The red thing, just below the clear balloon is the parachute. So its' already extended away from the capsule.

Awesome!

Awesome!

That was pretty cool. I can't imagine doing a 120,000+ freefall, thats just crazy.

What you couldn't see on the video was Chuck Norris shoving him out when he got scared.
